Try to boot into single user mode. At the boot prompt, enter -s. If you get a "can't find /bin/sh" error, try booting again in single user mode and entering /bin/csh at the prompt for the shell. Then, mount the disks with 'mount -a' and look at the /bin directory. 'ls -l /bin' should show you sh and csh with permissions 555 (-r-xr-xr-x), owner bin and group bin.
