I've just started playing with MacBSD, and seem to have already messed
something up! I tried to shutdown the system, but the shutdown command
wouldn't work (it wasn't recognized). So, I had no choice other than
powering down the Mac (bad, I know). Now, when I boot into MacBSD, I get
the following message during boot:

Can't open /dev/rs2da: Device not configured
/dev/rs2da: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.
/dev/rs2da: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY

It then asks me to manually enter the pathname of the shell.

If I try to run fsck, it says:

Can't open /dev/rsd2a: Device not configured

As a MacBSD newbie, can someone help me out?

Thanks,

Chris
