using the android sdk tools you can access the android shell through the adb shell program. with the android booted in normal mode, turn on usb debug in the settings->applications menu then connect via usb. otherwise have the android in recovery mode connected via usb.

information on the android sdk: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and the link to download the tool for the mac here:
