MDM Trouble Report for 2008 Jul 5

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): armstrong (columbia)
Instrument: templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
Tambora won't reboot normally.  Two nights ago I shut it down 
*correctly*; yesterday I had to shutdown manually because its 
error prompt did not accept 'logout', 'exit', 'quit', or 
'go bye-bye.'  So it has now been shut down properly once, and 
improperly three times.

EACH TIME, it gave this message:
'Unable to repair the / filesystem.  Run fsck manually ... ' ...
'/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 is not okay.'

It invites me to proceed normal startup by hitting ctrl-d, but that
takes me to a hopeless loop that produces only this:

INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmp or /var/adm/utmpx
INIT: Failed write of utmpx entry: '  '
INIT: SINGLE USER MODE

I need the password (again) to login manually and run fsck.
If this can be cleared up before tonight, I would REALLY appreciate 
it.

Thanks.
