That is exactly what I saw, and nothing worked to try and fix the
problem. So, as I indicated in an earlier post, I ran fsck -y on the
/usr partition and was finally able to deep six /home. No real
catastrophe because I had all of /home backed up. So, I just did a
mkdir of /home and repopulated it. I'm still scratching my head as to
what caused the initial problem. There was no power failure or anything
like that. I remember that all of a sudden when I booted the laptop I
got this message (I forgot to include this in my first post):
FreeBSD/.i386 boot
Default:0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader
boot:
Hardly the normal opening screen, and I had to hit enter to proceed.
First time I did that that the computer booted OK, the second time
it broke. The only thing that changed between the time of the normal
boot and the problem is that I installed a USB hub to this old Compaq
because it only has one USB port. Who knows.
