I have more than one machine running FreeBSD 2.2.6-REL (several actually)
and one of the machines (the only one that I did the 2.1 to 2.2.6 upgrade
in /stand/sysinstall) won't come up after an unexpected reboot - power
failure, etc.  It restarts, runs fsck but fails to write the fixes back
to disk and set the clean flag.  I then get a screen full of messages
something along the lines of: Unable to rw mount /  then I'm prompted to
enter a shell or press enter for /bin/sh.  I can hit enter, type fsck -y
and it'll run fsck and write the changes just fine. Reboot and the system
is back up and running again.  I've had both fsck -p and fsck -y in the rc
file but it made no difference.  /etc/fstab looks normal (when compared to
another 2.2.6).   Any suggestions?


The second thing is alot easier.  I'm setting up a multiboot system with
OS/2 and FreeBSD using FreeBSD's boot manager.  Is there a driver to
access the HPFS file system on the OS/2 partition or is it a moot point
since they're both on the same device?

Thanks in advance,
Vince.
