Do you have a backup? Also, was there anything you might have done that resulted in this behavior?
If you have a scratch disk (whether approved or not), you can power down the NAS and remove the drives (recording the slot order). Then insert the scratch disk and power up. If the hardware is functional, it will do a factory install. If all that works, then shut it down and reinstall the original disks in the correct slots.
You could also try powering up the NAS w/o disk 1 (but with all the rest), and see if that works. You can repeat that experiment with the other drives removed (one at a time). Be sure you have the NAS powered down when you insert/remove drives in this particular test.
If that fails, you could try an OS reinstall from the front panel with all disks in place.
mdgm (or others) might have some other ideas.
