This is a duplicate of a previous inquiry.  

Is there a procedure to boot from floppy disk in order to run `fsck' on
the root file system?

I panicked the kernel after doing a cd /; find . -name bash -print.
Now when I boot FreeBSD I get the message "WARNING: / was not properly
dismounted." right after the device probes have run.  The machine hangs
and the only way out is with hardware reset.  I didn't catch the exact
panic message, something to the effect of corrupt file.
