Make sure that the linux emulation is actually running.  Look in
/etc/rc.conf for the following line..

linux_enable="YES"      # Linux emulation loaded at startup (or NO).

You could also run /stand/sysinstall (as root), choose Configure,
Startup, and then scroll down to linux and X the box.

If you don't want to reboot to start the linux emulator, just type
linux at the prompt and it'll start it.

Hope this helps,
