I was able to netboot from:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-hppa/current/images/boot.img
and resurrect the /lib/ld.so.1 symlink.
But that wasn't quite enough. On the next reboot:
/sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directoryKernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
The steps were:
o "break out" the "auto-installer" with <Escape> key
o select "execute a shell"
o determine root partition (eg cat /proc/partition)
mkdir /target
mount /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target15/lun0/part3 /target
o the rest can be cut/pasted:
cd /target/lib
ln -s ld-2.3.2.so ld.so.1
ln -s libc-2.3.2.so libc.so.6
ln -s libm-2.3.2.so libm.so.6
ln -s libdl-2.3.2.so libdl.so.2
ln -s libutil-2.3.2.so libutil.so.1
cd /
umount /target
exit
o select "Abort the installation and reboot"
That got me to a login prompt, but not one that works.
More symlinks are missing...makes me wonder if all the symlinks in
/lib got wiped out.

Unless someone else wants to play with the box, I'll cold install
tonight. I wanted to use a different root disk partitioning anyway.
