I did as recommended and went into single user mode. Then I started
'fsck /dev/wd0a;fsck /' and obviously fsck marked the root partition
as clean.

I tried the latter and got an error message as reply. It read
something like "Can't execute /sbin/halt: Wrong address". So I simply
hard-resetted my machine without syncing the disks.

The problem is gone away now, but I am a bit worried about the
shutdown-problem. :-)
