Okay - just to reply to myself:

Thanks to all that replied, I'm back up and running.

I didn't know about /usr/sbin/static/mv - so those that pointed me at it,
thanks! I did have one problem, there, though - for some reason the file
system came up unwritable. But, boot cdrom -s (thanks to those that pointed
it out) got me out of the auto-installer on the cd, then I fsck'd
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 (/usr) and mkdir /tmp/mnt, mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3
/tmp/mnt, moved the silly file back, rebooted and life was good. :-P

Thanks all.
