/bin/sh is dynamically linked - if you've blown away the library you have a 
problem.

You should be able to get in using /rescue/sh, which is statically linked, but 
to get the system back I think you're going to need more hands-on help than 
you can get here; either that or you're going to have to provide more detail 
about exactly what you were doing.
