I had never seen that before. I tried to login again and the machine hung, so I rebooted it. When it tried to come back up, it automatically started the sysinstall program, and now every time it comes up, that's what it does. I used a fixit disk, and managed to fsck and mount the other partitions (/ /usr and /var). The files are intact, and the partitions are mountable. My question is how do I fix it to allow it to boot up normally from the hard drive? Thanks. Chad
