Are you trying to see the things that are somehow lower level than root? That won't work.

What are you actually trying to do?

Your syntax is wrong. The error spelled this out

Code:
ls -d */

is incorrect. If you wish to make it work then you may want to do this

Code:
ls -d /*

I tried to explain in my last post that you were looking the wrong way as in in behind root. You cannot do that.
