    I thought I'd shutdown the new 5.1 FBSD server , but obviously not.

    Now I can't get it to boot.....just sits there with above err msg.
    Last 2 lines on screen are

    Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
    WARNING: / was not properly dismounted

    It's been an hour or more now.
    On the old server (v4.5) this msg would come up, for a while while a
    "scandisk" was done.
    Then the boot would continue.

    Whats with 5.1?
    How do I get out of this? (Simple step by step would be great. Still new at
    this unix stuff)

    Many TIA
