We had a power outage this morning. 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?

Jim
