sorry to bother you. i'm using 5.3

had a power failure. /temp, /usr, and /var not properly dismounted.

at one time, i used a disk check utility under 3.x and 4.x, but it's been so long, i've forgotten how to use it, and clean these up. the system reboots to give me the option
to run under /bin/sh.

The restart is automatic, unless you booted single-user. For single-user:

# fsck -p
# mount -u /
# mount -at ufs
# swapon -a
# adjkerntz -i
