  You can write the file direct to the floppy device /dev/fd0 as if it
  was a tape.  No need to mount any sort of filesystem.  Since you have
  cpio(1) available use:
  # cd /usr/libexec
 
 Now, will the command above change to my live system's /usr/libexec
 directory, or a pretend one that exists only in RAM (ie. the way that the
 emergency holographic shell exists in a /ramdisk if you will)?

This is assuming that you have another FreeBSD box which works
properly, and that you can copy the ld-elf.so.1 file from.  The
intention is that you use a different floppy than the ones you use to
boot from, and swap them in and out as required.
 
  # echo ./ld-elf.so.1 | cpio -o  /dev/fd0
 
 When you say write the file direct do you mean that my system's / root
 directory may also be directly written to, without having to first mount it??!

Not like this: writing direct to a block device like this will destroy
any filesystem already on the device.  That's generally not what you
want, but it can be permissible in extremis to trash some floppy
disks...
 
  Then to extract the file:
  # cd /usr/libexec
  # cpio -i  /dev/fd0

 My apologies.  This all seems a little scary, and does not sound proper...

Absolutely.  It is both scary and improper.

Cheers,

Matthew

 You could probably accomplish this by booting with a fixit disk and copying
 over ld-elf.so.1 from a live CD (Disc 2 in the 4-disk set) to /usr/libexec.
 Or you could install the drive in another FreeBSD box, mount /usr and copy
 the file over.   -Matt

Thank you Matt and others.  The trick of running `echo *` to accomplish a
task similar to `ls` worked.  Along with `pwd` and `echo *` I was able to
poke my way around the 4.7-RELEASE CD-R and fixit shell (Emergency
Holographic Shell on VTY F4 accessible by Ctrl-Alt-F4).

Go into a writable directory, then execute:

cat /mnt/cdrom1/bin/bin.[a-z][a-z] | tar zxvf - ./usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1

That should unpack it into your current directory including making the usr

Without ld-elf.so.1 you won't be able to start up any executable that

ld-elf.so.1 should also be on the first CD. Its just inside
the split tar.gz files which make up the base of FreeBSD.

Check out the bin/ directory on the cd, all the bin.[a-z][a-z]

 ld-elf.so.1 should also be on the first CD. Its just inside
 the split tar.gz files which make up the base of FreeBSD.

 Check out the bin/ directory on the cd, all the bin.[a-z][a-z]
 files are a split of a large tar.gz, and that includes the ld-elf.so.1

UGH and *lament* - I came home thinking Tonight will be the night, I can
stop using this bootable-ramdisk-creating Knoppix Debian Linux CD-R and
again start using FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE...

But no.  I looked at /mnt/cdrom1/bin/* and tried a `tar -tzf
binary-filename-here` to list the contents but it didn't work.  Is there a
++CONTENTS or ls-laR.tgz file somewhere of the contents?

Is the consensus that if this /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 file is replaced
then all should be fixed?  Thanks Ulf!

missing /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 ... not found

2003-12-22 Thread Peter Leftwich
(I am posting this because a search for the subject above in Google turned
up not much... not much 'tall!)

What should a user do if their, uhm, /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 file is
missing on 4.7-RELEASE?  Can said user `touch /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1` as
a decent fix?  Or mount their drive from another OS and copy over a
friend's or a web-hosted ld-elf.so.1 file?  Or could I, I mean my friend,
use some of the contents of src/ on a 4.7-RELEASE CD-R to recreate (via
compiling) this needed file??  Please help.  It could be your gift to me.

You could probably accomplish this by booting with a fixit disk and copying
over ld-elf.so.1 from a live CD (Disc 2 in the 4-disk set) to /usr/libexec.
Or you could install the drive in another FreeBSD box, mount /usr and copy
the file over.
