I had to:

- boot in single-user mode
- manually mount -o remountrw my / partition
- manually initialize all lvm groups
- manually mount /usr
- manually mount /var
- manually set $PATH to include /usr/bin
- run apt-cache show initscripts |grep Version
- manually ifconfig/dhclient my network interface
- run apt-get install initscripts=2.86.ds1-15
- sync; reboot

In short: a disaster.

  hth, Wouter
