Hi,
  by the way, I found also useful the "Ubuntu Rescue Remix" live CD that
you could get at

http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/

is like using the alternate cd the way NoOp says, only better because
you have a lot more tools (e.g. parted) which aren't on the Ubuntu
Alternate. They aren't really needed for solve the problem of the OP
[neither is an editor, as I pointed out], but is good to know it exists,
I think.

By the way, I agree that having no functioning editor in "rescue mode"
makes the rescue mode itself meaningless and that a bug should be filled
about that...



Enjoy
