This will fix it.
Go into the first installation cd:
A typical FreeBSD distribution directory looks something like this:
ABOUT.TXT bin dict manpages tools
HARDWARE.TXT compat1x des doc packages
INSTALL.TXT compat20 floppies ports
README.TXT compat21 games proflibs
RELNOTES.TXT compat22 info src
LAYOUT.TXT XF86333
Within the compat22 directory run the install shell script which will
install the necessary ld.so in /usr/libexec.
This is what the problem is:
4. The compat1x, compat20, compat21 and compat22 directories contain
distributions for compatibility with older releases and are distributed
as single gzip'd tar files - they can be installed during release time
or later by running their `install.sh' scripts. Those wishing to
run older (2.2.x) a.out dynamically linked executables should always
install the compat22 distribution.
