Hmm. About sd2a: If you have two other hard disks, w/ lower scsi #'s,
on the chain, then sd2a is right.

About fsck: On my machine, fsck fixes the root partition automatically
on boot. If you want to manually fix it, you must boot in single-user
mode & fsck it there.

In single-user mode, the file system should be coming up as read-only.
Keep it that way while you fsck, and then you won't get any "Reboot
Now" messages. They come from the fact the disk was changed, and is
now correct. If the file system is r/w, there might be data in the
system buffers which will get written to disk, yielding a re-corrupted
file system.

Take care,
