Unfortunatly, in this case, he's already porked, as i assume he has
discovered by now :(

ldd /bin/mount
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xcaacd000)
        /lib/ld.so.1 => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x00000000)


With no /lib, he's not gonna get past the automount on boot....

Even if he did have /home in ld.so.conf, which he doesn't...

Never ever move /lib anywhere else, at least, not on a raq

gsh
