# fdisk -l | egrep "GPT|dev" WARNING: fdisk doesn't support GPT. /dev/sdb1 1 267350 2147483647+ ee GPT

This is an odd message to get, and probably means that udev didn't find the device and create it because udev and/or the rescue system's GPT support is flaking out. Does the kernel in this rescue system support GPT? "mknod /dev/sdb1 b 8 17" to create it. You may wish to "mknod /dev/sdc1 8 33" in case the other softRAID-1 disk has better stuff on it.
As other people have said, there should be no need to use mdadm to assemble an array out of RAID-1 partitions. "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/somewhere" should do something useful if the device node and /mnt/somewhere exist.

Use gdisk if/when doing gpt
That too. (One day, we will forsake our filesystems and break all bonds of block devices to get a disk larger than 2T for actual experience with GPT, but today is *not* this day. This day, we *SOLVE TECH PROBLEMS!!!1!*)
