Normally, if a filesystem has problems and cannot be mounted, the system will not enter multi-user mode and will require the operator to run it from single-user mode. You can also boot off of a CD and fsck the hard drive that way. Note that you generally need to answer "yes" to the repair questions fsck asks of you.... -- -Chuck
