Thanks! Works like a charm.

More notes for those following along:
- In the installer, I did not give root a password; that was a bad choice,
since I could not log in as root and the installer doesn't seem to have
set up a non-root user. Booting in single-user mode with -s allows
one to set a password for root.
- "reboot" and ctrl-alt-delete did not work to reboot as a
nonprivileged user. So I ran "sync" and then pressed the reset
button, with the unfortunate effect that on next boot e2fsck had a
lot of complaints. No matter; pressing 'y' repeatedly on the next
fsck run seems to put us back in an okay state.
- although networking is not set up automatically, following the
instructions at [1] works nicely.
