Greetings all,
When powering up my G3 (yes I know it is a dinosaur), the grey screen with the apple logo appears, everything appears normally during the boot, then after checking settings, internet, printers, etc...it goes into Darwin/BSD console mode prompting a user name a password.
After reading about similar problems on other forums, I booted in Single User mode, and ran fsck -fy. This is what appeared next on the next:
** /dev:rdisk0s6
** Root file system
** Checking HFS Plus volume.
**Checking Extents Overflow file.
**Checking Catalog file.
disk0s6: I/O error.
Invalid key length
(4, 1327)
**Volume check failed.
localhost:/ root#
Now I have no idea what to type in the prompt. I have read in other forums to boot from the installation disc, but I can not because I do not have one. Are there any alternatives to fixing this problem using fsck?
Thanks in advance,
Joe Wensell
