5.3 LiveCD fixit shell geom(8) environment broken?

[Alexey Belousov]

hi All,

recently, I played with geom in fixit shell and found some oddity:

Fixit# geom mirror load
Command 'load' not available.
Fixit# sysctl kern.module_path
kern.module_path: /boot/kernel;/boot/modules
Fixit# ls -la /boot/kernel/
ls: /boot/kernel/: No such file or directory
Fixit# ln -s /mnt2/boot/kernel /boot/
Fixit# geom mirror load -v
Module available.
Done.
Fixit# geom mirror dump da0
Unknown command: dump
usage: geom mirror help
        geom mirror list
        geom mirror load [-v]
        geom mirror unload [-v]
Fixit# ldd `which geom`
/mnt2/sbin/geom:
        libgeom.so.2 => /mnt2/lib/libgeom.so.2 (0x28078000)
        libsbuf.so.2 => /mnt2/lib/libsbuf.so.2 (0x2807c000)
        libbsdxml.so.1 => /mnt2/lib/libbsdxml.so.1 (0x2807e000)
        libutil.so.4 => /mnt2/lib/libutil.so.4 (0x2809d000)
        libc.so.5 => /mnt2/lib/libc.so.5 (0x280a9000)
Fixit# ln -s /mnt2/lib /
Fixit# geom mirror dump da0
Metadata on da0:
        magic: GEOM::MIRROR
     version: 1
        <---snip--->
Fixit#

Summary:
1. missing geom_*.ko / invalid kern.module_path
fix: sysctl kern.module_path=`sysctl -n kern.module_path`\;/mnt2/boot/kernel
or simply ln -s /mnt2/boot/kernel /boot/

2. missing necessary libs in /lib (hardcoded path?)
fix: ln -s /mnt2/lib /

cheers,
