Waiting 5 seconds for SCSI devices to settle Mounting root from /dev/ad0s1a WARNING: / was not properly dismounted Init: fatal signal: bus error Enter full pathname of shell or press RETURN for /bin/sh Trying to exit single user mode will repeat the last 2 lines of the above msg. 'fsck -y' reveals no error(s) on my partitions, but '/sbin/shutdown -r now' displays the msg.: 'init: /etc/rc.shutdown returned status 10' Tried shutting off and rebooting, but the problem persists. I am forced to use Windows until this is fixed, please help !! yours, Inge E.
