Just follow the instructions. When it gets to this point type in your root
password and then at the prompt type in:
fsck /dev/<whatever drive is giving you trouble>

so at (Repair filesystem) 1 #      I typed: fsck /dev/c

and got:

Parallelizing fsck version 1.19 (13-Jul-2000)
e2fsck 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/c
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
(Repair filesystem) 2 #

???? mmm. well, I suspect that all seems quite straight forward to a lot of
people out there. Wot?
