shared object libc.so.6 not found after freebsd-update

[FT]

I was using freebsd-update to upgrade from 6.2 to 7.0-RELEASE. The upgrade
and install of the kernel went fine, then I reran freebsd-update after
rebooting to get the userland stuff. Midway through installing updates,
I got the error:

Installing updates.../libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object
libc.so.6 not found, required by rm

There's a libc.so.7 in /lib. I'd try linking to it, but ln of course 
requires libc.

Without libc, almost nothing works... can someone guide me through how
to recover a functional libc and finish updating (without breaking
everything)?

I was following the instructions at
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/announce.html. Was there some step
missing that would have prevented this mess?

Thanks

Hello,
I'm not certain of the following.  I think you needed to update to 6.3
first and after the first update, install compat6x.  Regardless, you
may be able to recover by doing 'freebsd-update rollback'.  That will
undo the most recent changes and hopefully get you a working system.
