Well, you can use tech support mode and telnet in.
The telnet user/pass is root/infr8ntdebug
From there you'd mount the OS partition using

Many thanks for your help.
Unfortunatly the unit also hangs on 'Tech Support Please wait....'.
I decided to remove all disks, put in a blank one and start the unit.
All went well. The system was up and running after OS installed and partition created. Installed the ssh enabler.
Accessed the dashboard and loged in with ssh.
After putting back the previous 4 disk array, no normal boot, no thech boot.
