Recommended order (after reboot, not just a drop to single-user) is: fsck -p (Not likely needed, but it's safest and, if it was not needed, runs in under s second) adjkertz -i (if hardware clock runs local time) swapon -a (Just in case you need to swap, which s unlikely, but it's best to be safe) mount -a -t ufs (System may not be ready to mount non-ufs systems) -- R.
