When power came back online one of our machines failed to boot. It boots up to the message 1) warning / was not properly dismounted then it prints 2) Couldn't open /usr/libexec/ld.so followed by 3) Enter pathname of shell or return for sh When I hit return it repeats 2 and 3. It does not matter whether the machine is booting to single or multi user. I have viewed all the file systems on this disk with fixit. They are mountable and /usr/libexec/ld.so exists and is the same size as that file on systems running the same version of FreeBSD. I have a full backup if necessary, but it seems the data is on the disk and the disk is OK. Any ideas what is occuring and whether there is a clever way to fix it?
