Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 4.9 for the first time. After the install I =
did not shut down properly and now whenever it boots I get the =
following:
Automatic boot in progress...
/etc/rc: fsck: permission denied
Unknown error in reboot
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:

So each time it boots it's stuck in single user mode and says fsck is =
denied. Now I tried running /stand/fsck -y /, /stand/fsck -y /usr, =
etc.... That seemed to clean the mount points, but I still only boot =
into single user mode all the time. Need help!
