Yes. But it's only after the fact that I see the issue. Which, in all
the "how to"s I've looked at, isn't mentioned. I'd call it a bug -
anything that's needed to boot should be available in the root file
system. The arm-specific libraries are needed, but aren't in the right
place.

Surely I can't be the only one to try moving /usr to a separate
partition, when it's standard practice anywhere else?

Anyway, problem resolved, and thanks again to all for their patience.
