Hello everyone,

FreeBSD was in the middle of make-ing a port (kterm) when all of a
sudden
the computer rebooted (any ideas why?). Now when I try to get FBSD 
going again it says:

.....
/dev/rwd1s2e: BAD SUPER BLOCK: VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK DISAGREE WITH THOSE
IN
FIRST ALTERNATE
/dev/rwd1s2e: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY
....

running fsck in sh leads to the same announcement, plus:

	pid 15(fsck), uid 0: exited on signal 8
	Floating exception

Is there any hope of fixing this slice (my /usr)?

Thanks, Gerard.
