What about if you enter /rescue/sh here?  The tools in /rescue are all
statically linked.

I've checked my copies of both 7.0-RELEASE-amd64-livefs.iso and
7.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso and get the following results:
# rescue/md5 -r rescue/md5 libexec/ld-elf.so.1 lib/libncurses.so.7 lib/libc.so.7 bin/sh boot/kernel/kernel
55fcd4d3c7914dde00a3bf67dd045d67 rescue/md5

12b4c1d7484f4a332a5b3339ec492503 boot/kernel/kernel

Can you please confirm you get the same (the installer should be
verifying MD5s of these files when it installs them as well).

I've checked the relevant files on my copy of the CDs and I don't have
any problems running them.  Possibly there is a problem with the
installer but, we should have lots more similar complaints is so.
