Houston, I Have a Problem!

[Norman Lund]

I didn't see anyone respond to this, so I guess I will.  forgive me if
someone already shot you an email:

the control-d at that point just means that fsck had issues fixing the
harddisk, and needs you to run it manually.  (it uses switches in the
batch.)
Just run: fsck /dev/hd??  (where ?? is whichever harddisk it complained
about.)

then, reboot and your cool.
