Hi All
Hopefully someone will be able to help with this, thanks for reading. I havent been using freebsd for very long so sorry if my terminology is off.
I tried sshing to my freebsd box and received the message
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "bash"
The user have the shell of bash and both local and remote login produces this error, i guess that there was a problem with a recent upgrade getting cut off or something similar thus making the shell unusable.
The systems root is zfs and so i tried booting in single user mode, which could mount the root as a read only system. safe mode couldn't cope with zfs.
I then booted off a live cd i knew could handle the zfs, opensolaris, and forced importing the zroot. I updated the passwd file to an alternate shell and restarted.
The problem i seem to have now is that the system cant boot. I guess its because the zpool has been imported into the freebsd system. ive used linux for many years and am wondering if there is anything like busy box or something to boot and then re import the zpool. Can anyone help / suggest something ? I'm gonna go and read over the zfs wiki again and see if i can see something there, but havent had much luck so far.
Thanks in advance.
(if anyone has a better suggestion on how i should have handled the original problem that would be great info also.)
