I am a novice with the FreeBSD 4.1 software. I was in the process of newly
installing my software. I was configuring the X Server during the initial
or first installation when my system froze on me. I then cold boot or
turned off the computer off and then on again. I am using the BSD Desktop
Edition-UNIX OS version 4.1. I need some assistance in getting the
software running. I am able to boot and I received these system messages:
Mounting root from ufs :/dev/ad1sa3
WARNING: /mnt was not properly mounted
Swapon: adding /dev/ad1s3b as swap device
Automatic boot in progress
/dev/ad1s3a: LINK COUNT FILE 1=6273 owner = root MODE=20640
/dev/ad1s3a: SIZE=0 MTIME = Nov 30 16:06 2000 COUNT 1 SHOULD BE 2
/dev/ad1s3a: LINK COUNT INCREASING
/dev/ad1s3a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY
Automatic file system check failed...help!
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
After reading the boot message above I then proceeded to enter(E) the
following command and received(R) the system's response:
(E) /stand/sysinstall
(R) Error opening terminal: cons25
(E) mkdir /usr/var
(R) mkdir: /usr/var: Read-only file system
(E) tar cf - .1 (cd /usr/var; tar xf - )
(R) tar: not found
cd: can't cd to /usr/var
tar: not found
Please reply ASAP
