    Of course: it will not boot till you run fsck manually, exactly as it
    says. If it is giving a prompt, it is expecting you to run fsck right then
    and there. When you correct the problem, then ^D will close and reboot -
    this time correctly, as you are supposed to have corrected the error :-p

    Not "/", but /dev/hdaX, where X is the number of the partition you have to
    check, and hda might be hdb, or whatever. You must know that yourself.

    Hold on a moment... Additional options? It is a command to be entered at a
    command line prompt. Where are you typing it?

    Well...

    The man pages of e2fsck and resiserfsck are printed at the end of the SuSE
    admin book just for these ocassions.

    I understand those feelings. There is always a first time; the next will
    be easier.
