Relinking 'init' static would solve both problems at once (i.e. "dirty"
shutdown and an initial boot); but clobbered basic shared libraries mean
no much of a system in any case. Time to boot from a floppy into a ram
disk and refresh libraries from CD - as long as you still have your hard
drive.
If your /lib is gone but a disk is there then you can likely still boot
with an 'init=/bin/ash' kernel option if you have /bin/ash statically
linked (or other small shell of that sort).
