calling busybox shell using kernel args

Through a particularly clever rsync maneuver, I've managed to move the busybox executable from /bin/ to /bin/.temp/.  All my busybox and init path settings still point to /bin, however.  

Unsurprisingly, this causes a kernel panic on boot as all my symbolic links back to the busybox executable are broken.  Since I have no other shell on my embedded system, I've been trying to figure out how to pass the busybox shell to the kernel using the init= boot argument.

Any ideas?  Other ways to start a shell?

Thanks,
Johann
