Have you still got a BL ramdisk?

If not, download a new one!

Boot to that, then mount your broken partition.

mount /dev/hdax /mnt

(The exact value for hdax is the partition you installed BL to)

Then look in /mnt. You may be able to find the problem - if it's missing a
library, perhaps you can copy it from the ramdisk version??

If nothing else, you can copy any data, downloads, etc you want onto another
partition before you give up.
