That is correct. So no cd burning no nothing...Well it want to drop in to a single shell bla bla bla press enter for /bin/sh

libexec* libc.so.7: invalid file format

I do not want to reinstall, have 4 encrypted disks.


My latest version of Druid has a very sophisticated "Interactive Disk Repair" script that 
will assemble your system "humpty-dumpty style" while booted from a CD or Thumb drive 
(you said you couldn't burn a CD, but it wasn't clear whether you could master a thumb drive).

http://sourceforge.net/projects/druidbsd/files/FreeBSD-8.3_Druid-1.0b60.iso/download

When you run the "Interactive Disk Repair (IDR) Shell" option, it presents you with a few 
questions (like, "I've found a saved network interface in rc.conf(5) -- would you like me to 
activate it for you?"), and ultimately mounts your system to present a working shell to fix 
your problems.

Important: when it asks you if you want to chroot into the mounted filesystem, 
say NO (you're libc isn't working, so that would be a bad idea) -- rather, run 
from the LiveFS environment where /mnt is your mounted system. There's even a 
copy of libc in the LiveFS environment that you can copy over your old one...

cp /cdrom/freebsd/rescue/lib/libc.so.7 /mnt/lib/libc.so.7

(if I recall correctly)
