"Only problem that OS does not boot beyond "emergency mode"."...

But I made some progress:

- booted up into single user, bring up Ethernet, now CAN start Postgres
but only using pg_ctl directly, does NOT work using systemctl... So
problem is (possibly) with systemd.

Dumped base, pg_dump worked fine, dump gzipped is < 600MB, so I assume
that somehow Postgres recovered from my (stupid) move...

BTW, pls respond only to list.
