Flashing would be the easiest solution. It seems like you have not told us exactly what happened prior to all these from happening.
As far as I know the Ctrl+Fn special character keys not appearing may have come from installing mscim for instance.

Please check the state of your memory first:
Code:
mount df -h free

I have started backing everything up, but here are the results of mount, df and free:
(Same as root)
'mount' doesn't print anything, and df just the first row.
I have no idea why this has happened; it could be something I've installed, but I find that unlikely (as now I can't install/remove anything, not even manually delete (or create) files/folders on at least /etc, /usr) I also have not been doing anything strange in the important places.
But nevermind, I'm going to flash anyway.
Code:
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
~ $ mount
~ $ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
~ $ free
total used free shared buffers

About ten days ago, my N900 started acting funny.
It doesn't loop my alarms, they get disabled after the first time.
I can't resize Xterm font with the +/- keys, nor change it from the menu.
Ctrl+Fn to type special characters doesn't work.
SSHd doesn't want to start, complains about the last (completely fine) line in the conf.
Email-app won't update the "Last time updated" date on accounts.
Also, I can't use apt-get; "Read-only filesystem".
"$ df" returns just "Filesystem 1k-blocks Used etc-", no partitions.
However, I can write to /home/user and /home/user/MyDocs, ergo the problem is in /.
Simply put, I think my root aka / is read-only, and not because of some filerights-problem.
Any idea how to fix this, or should I just flash (once again)?
(Would be nice to fix this, flashing has some hassle with installing everything again)
Thanks in advance.
