That was a typo, I had to read from the screen and type on another
unit...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I did that in the Busybox shell and it worked fine. Detected two files
as being corrupted and fixed them.

When the command was done I typed exit to leave the shell and the
system restarted and now it got all the way to the login prompt.
It seems to have worked fine.

A Happy Camper now....

(Need to get a UPS hooked up to this server...)
