What you did *shouldn't've* caused a problem, as I understand ldconfig.
Try removing the hints file (/var/run/ld.so.hints, I think) and either
rerunning ldconfig or just rebooting.

Use the block device instead of the raw device, as the message implies.
Assuming the command you gave was otherwise correct, this would mean
"mount /dev/sd0d /usr".

The root filesystem, yes.  If you don't want that, "mount /" will
remount it read/write.  You probably should fsck it first, though (the
same is true of /usr, actually).
