Well, you have provided little in the way of precisely what messages are being issued or what the system is doing instead of a "normal boot-up." However, I expect that the system is detecting a problem with a normally-mounted filesystem, and instructing you to "run fsck manually". If that is the case, following the system's instructions is what you need to do: at the "# " prompt, enter fsck and respond to the messages as they are issued. david -- David Wolfskill UNIX System Administrator dhw@whistle.com voice: (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
