The Hurd terminal problem.

[Philip Charles <philipc@copyleft.co.nz>]

I think I have the problem isolated.

The system will only boot into single-user mode.

The error is
#/sbin/fsck: /: Cannot make readonly: Device or resource busy
#Unknown error during fsck (exit status 50)

ctrl-D gets it into multi-user mode.

However, if the filesystem has not unmounted on power off and is checked
on the next reboot, then everything works properly and the system ends up
in multi-user mode.

Phil.
