Hello,

A few days ago, our server had a horrible crash.  Everything on the network  
locked up tight and needed to be restarted the hard way.  When the server  
came back up, it refused to boot in multi-user mode.  The boot parameter of  
"-nbu=128" was being ignored, and the default 16 buffers were used.

When the system started to boot Mach, it declared that it couldn't write to  
mtab because the file system was read only!!!  The only way around this at  
present is to boot in single-user mode, then continue the multi-user startup.

Has anyone run into this sort of problem before, or have any idea where I an  
look to cure it?  Thanks in advance.
