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

[Ulf Zimmermann]

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
