If you have /bin/sash installed, try that rather than /bin/bash.

If you cannot boot with a rescue disk, you could try to booting from a
floppy with tomsrtbt. You can get tomsrtbt from
http://www.toms.net/rb/. Once you have booted from tomsrtbt, you can
mount your partitions and try to fix the problem. To fix the problem
you may need to run programs using chroot; the tomsrtbt FAQ has
some sections on this.

You should probably also take a look at:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/quick-reference/ch-package.en.html#s-survival

What sequence of events led up to your problem?
