got this: "automatic reboot will start in 15sec".

I went to single user mode, and ran FSCK manually. That solved
the problem. But the server was down for 2 hours.

If you want to get rid of the reboot loop, set:

background_fsck="NO"

Then it will either come up, or ask for help if anything fails.

If you absolutely want the server to come up, you can set this

fsck_y_enable="YES"

Assuming you're in the habit of answering "yes" to fsck's questions,
this will do it automatically in case of problems.

(Both settings are for /etc/rc.conf, of course)
