Thanks so much! I'm back up and online. I should have thought of it as I
remember how I thought it was a great idea and it was.
For the record, something happened to the ld-elf.so.hints file. It
contained only lib32 entries. Restored from backup and the system booted up
normally.

Have you tried using /rescue/sh (or /rescue/{csh,tcsh) depending on<br>
taste)? The /rescue programs are statically linked so should work.<br>
