With really weird files in lost+found you probably need to use clri
to clear the inodes for these weird files. You could probably try
something like the following:

1) ls -i and note the inode numbers.
2) boot into single user mode.
3) Do "clri /dev/rda0swhatever 4873928 4287942 37204 ..."
	where you put in the correct character device and inode
	numbers
4) Reboot and let fsck clean up the resulting mess.

We had this happen ages ago when half of a ccd device keep going
away 'cos of confused scsi stuff.

	David.
