Well I added / after the fsck line in /etc/rc and I'm up and running again.
Should I run fsck manually on /kern and /proc?  Does fsck actually check
the swap partition on the boot?  Just curious about that.

I'll go ahead and give it shot and run fsck on /kern and /proc.  I'm not
sure if this is the problem though.  I'm actually getting *usage errors*
from fsck.

Thanks,
