You have apparently deleted one of the optional file systems from your
kernel config.  Alas, your fstab references one of them (most likely
procfs) prior to mounting /usr.  The file system mount command will
then attempt to load a loadable kernel module for the file system, but
this requires the /usr/bin/ld program.

Reorder the entries in /etc/fstab to have the /usr file system next to
the root file system.
