you should have busybox installed.
Just create a symlink for every tool needed.
ln -s bb ls and something like that. If even ln is gone, do it from busybox
itself - it has everything needed built-in

I think you're being a little harsh. :-) Usually, unmerging a package
that is blocking another package has, in my limited experience, always
solved

Howdy,
This is the first time I've played with a software raid and it looks
like I'm missing a part.
The raid5 consists of three AHCI 1TB drives (sdb1,sdc1,sdd1) assembled
as /dev/md1 and formatted ext3. The raid is just a data drive mounted
on /var/media.
Here's the array line from /etc/mdadm.

I just can't fsck my root device because my Gentoo system don't allow me
to remount it as readonly (mount -o ro,remount /dev/hda1). A rw-mounted
device is unsafe to be fsck -ed. (AFAIK).
When I go to tty1, login as root, do these:
