To start with, you could set: background_fsck="NO" ...in /etc/rc.conf to force filesystem checking to happen first. However, you are not going to have a very happy computing experience with any flavor of Unix if you keep shutting the system down uncleanly several times a day because of power failures. Try to obtain a UPS with a serial or USB connection and use a port like apcupsd to shut down cleanly... -- -Chuck
