Subject: How to run pwd_mkdb from fixit floppy?

I installed the 2.1 upgrade and can't log in, so am guessing that it's
I was using DES passwords and the 2.1 upgrade installed the MD5 system.
I figured I'd just boot the fixit floppy, remove root's password and
reboot, but it turns out to be a little harder than that -- pwd_mkdb is
linked shared and there is no ld.so available in fixit-land.

Any clues on how I can get logged in to straighten the world out?

Thanks,
  Bill
