The errno=97 shows up on my slapd startup as well, but doesn't affect the
operation. You need to find out why bi_open fails. It's in backend.c in
the slapd source, and it depends on what flavor backend it was trying to
open. I'd use a debugger (e.g. gdb) to trace through the call

                if ( be->bd_info->bi_open ) {
                        rc = be->bd_info->bi_open( be->bd_info );
                }

in backend.c in backend_startup().
