  try with sudo, and run fsck and grub-install:
  umount /mnt
  mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
  grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

  Replace parition names to fit your scheme.

  Thanks @luckypenguin

  Sudo command not found:

  rescue # sudo mkdir /test
  -bash: sudo: command not found

  The Rescue mode from Solus is 4.x (Roaring Lionus) Kernel - 64bit and login is root. But I get all kinds of errors as mentioned above and even when I try to do something simple does not work- example:

  rescue # mkdir /test
  mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/test’: Read-only file system

  Can anyone tell me what I am missing here and/or point me in the right direction?

  This is expected, squashfs as root (which is read-only by itself if not used with overlayfs/aufs + tmpfs) is a common setup in rescue images (assuming you're not chroot-ed yet when you run this).

  When I boot into Rescue mode from the Solus CP it boots I get the same kind of errors, for example when I run:

  rescue # chroot /mnt/root

  Get the error:

  chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: No such file or directory

  Again can see that the /bin/bash directory is present.

  Are you sure it's there? Note that the indicated path is relative to the directory you're chroot-ing into, in that case it's trying to find bash in /mnt/root/bin/bash.

  How did you mount the disk, is it mount /dev/sdX /mnt/root?
