Did you chroot /mnt/sysimage? If so don't do that, in fact there should be an option when you are booting into rescue mode where you can tell it to skip finding/mounting your OS. Try that and see if you have your commands. If not, I know that the Fedora rescue disk has these commands, and rescue mode is rescue mode so it still should work, just burn the first FC4 cd and use that rescue mode.
