Hi Sunil,
Thanks, as always, for your generous help with my naive problems.
Your comment that networking should work in a chroot env made me look
for closely at why I could tab complete the filename /etc/resolv.conf
but couldn't cat it (find not found).
/etc/resolv.conf was a soft link that pointed to an non-existant file.
I created a resolv.conf file and was in business. After a successful
apt-get update, some sub-process beneath "apt-get install libpam-abl"
segfaulted, but libpam-abl was nevertheless upgraded.
The SD card is now back in the sheevaplug. I've booted and logged in no
problem. I'm now busily apt-get dist-upgrade'ing!
