you don't want chroot to the old filesystem because you dont have rpm
installed
first read the rpm manual
and install rpm and yum with something like this
rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps --root=/mnt/xyz http://mirror.fedora/yum.rpm
http://mirror.fedora/rpm.rpm http://mirror.fedora/grub.rpm etc...

Thank you, Itmar.
I did try that, and was unable to.
Perhaps I did something wrong.
For instance, I tried to chroot into my system and run rpm from
there but that did not work.
I tried creating a soft link from the rescue system's /usr/bin/rpm to my
system's /usr/bin and chrooting into my system but that didn't work
either.
I then just tried to run rpm from the rescue system, but that did not
work.
This is what I tried:
rpm -Uvh

Thanks.
