So I unzipped the latest rootfs on a thumb drive and made a few attempts. Noticed some of the systemd files/linkery for the multi-user target were missing on the hard drive, so I copied and linked accordingly. Then forced systemd to go into multi-user mode through usb_custom_params, no luck. The following are messages from this latter stage, with systemd debug enabled.

I'd really like to fix this without reinstalling.

Well well, with 37 views and no replies at all, if that isn't my cue for switching - I don't know what else it is. Thanks for all the fish.
