OK, I was able to visit for a few minutes today, enough to get the machine answering ssh again. First, disklabel so you know what it actually has: $ sudo disklabel sd1 # /dev/rsd1c: type: SCSI disk: SCSI disk label: Transcend 4GB flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255

sd1a swap on sd1b dump on sd1b ...that's odd, it's showing swap (and dump) on sd1b, but there's no such thing: $ sudo df /dev/sd1b df: /dev/sd1b: Device not configured ...maybe it really doesn't like running without swap? Oh wait, it's showing only 3G of memory installed. I just physically checked the machine, and it has 4 full banks of 2G each. amd64 should be able to address that, right? That could certainly explain why fsck is unhappy.
