Unable to Boot - maybe missing lib

Hi there,
I recently received my FireFly board and have been having fun with it - great product you guys.
While installing some 'special' software I think I accidentally deleted an important file from /lib/.  Anyway now the device is stuck in an endless fatal error-reboot cycle.  How can I log in by the console to try to fix?
Also the partitions have different names from other sources on the web.  Where can I find the descriptions for the names?  e.g. is 'metadata' the 'parameter' partition?
Any help would be much appreciated.  I would like to recover if I can before I reflash and start again.

I can only see the reboot cycle from the serial console and I have not worked out how to capture the data yet. I am looking for a way to stop the endless reboot cycle so I can investigate. I did notice an error message something like - failed to sync - and trying to kill init. Sorry I can not be more helpful that that. Also heading off on holiday shortly so might have to resolve in the new year.
