Every-time I reboot, I get errors that say the drives were not shut-down properly and it runs fsck. I am doing shutdown and everything seems OK. After the shut-down process, it says "to enter a shell or hit return for /bin/sh". Unlike Redhat, it never says it's safe to shutdown the machine. Is this correct, or am I doing some thing wrong to shutdown and/or reboot. This is a older machine and does not have the power-off support. Ron
