It is a executable binary format or something like that.... basically what it
sounds like here is you don't have linux-base instealled and/or the linux kernel
module loaded... to do this just use kldload to load the linux.ko module and
possibly linprocfs.ko. To install the linux-base go to
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/ and do a make && make install.
