Boot single user, then do

fsck -f /dev/sdxx

where xx is the appropriate partition, and hit y instead of n and it
should fix things.  Is the above a result of a crash or did it just do
that initially?  If B., what kernel are you using, and what variety of HD
is this on?  (Sorry about ending with a preposition, but....)

Are you running MkLinux on the 7600?  Just curious.  Don't know about the
hostname.ae0 (never set up a box on ethernet, just ppp), but as far as I
can tell, the other files look okay.  I assume it recognizes the ethernet
card at boot, no warnings or errors there, right?  Have you tried ping,
etc.?  And if your filesystem is corrupted, it probably is dropping into
single user for you to fix it, and little, if anything network-wise should
work unless you're in multi-user (even starting up daemons fails as they
can't bind to the port in single). 


Hope that helps,
