Hi all,

I've just been trying to switch one of my FreeBSD work stations over to 
PXE booting and running diskless (the system drive has died).

However, I've run into a problem in that it appears that the root mount 
gets marked with MNT_NOEXEC for some reason, which causes ld-elf.so.1 to 
barf with a message of:
Cannot execute objects on /

The error doesn't occur for all applications, and I've narrowed it down 
to be that whenever LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set, then ld-elf.so.1 falls over 
with the above message.

I saw in the archives that this issue was raised back in March, but 
there was no followup there. Message ID for that email was 
<20050331111625.GA13338@zoopee.org>; interested parties are recommended 
to dig that one up.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I couldn't find any PRs 
(open or closed).

Thanks in advance,
/Johny
