Since FreeBSD went to dynamically linked binaries, there is the
/rescue directory which contains static binaries of the programs you
would need to recover from a failure.

Seems to be a bug, as their appears to be missing libraries in the
NO_SHARED case.

Not sure which library has the above function in them.

The following functions seem to be defined in libkvm.

These seem to come from curses, but are not in your libcurses library.
 Is there another library these functions come from?
