Hi,
That's not so good, then - if your shell is missing from /bin you'll have to fix that before you can do your chroot. Just be sure that it really is your root filesystem that's mounted - it looks like it is from your screenshot, certainly. Have a look manually at the contents of /mnt/sysimage/bin and /mnt/sysimage/lib at a minimum in case anything else important is missing.
Either way, if Bash (assuming Bash is your shell) is truly missing, you'll have to get any missing binaries and libraries from your OS installation media, and copy them in to place using the Live CD/USB environment you're using. Then, you might be able to do your chroot, if you're lucky.
What actually went wrong, out of interest ? What was it that happened to this system that left it in the state it's now in, do you know ?
