Maybe you should have done 'configure base system' before reboot.

There are two /etc/inittab files used in install, sounds like you
are still running the first one.

Reboot with init=/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /dev/???? /
cd /etc
mv inittab inittab.inst
mv inittab.real inittab
sync
mount -o remount,ro /dev/???? /

Power off/on, and try to boot again.  Might come up, might not.  If
it does, then "dpkg-reconfigure base-config" might let you run the
second half of the install.

The reason you had problems running the install properly is probably
because the 735 has a PCX-T cpu, which is known to have problems with
GLIBC 2.2.1.
