Is /usr a separate filesystem? Perhaps you forgot to mount it
while in singleuser mode (although when the system boots into
multiuser, it should automatically mount all filesystems for you).
You should be able to simply install the bin distribution and be able
to boot to a login prompt from there. All the stuff in /usr/bin,
/usr/sbin, /usr/libexec, /usr/lib, etc. are contained in there.
