What happens when you manually fsck the disk when in single-user??  I've
had trouble with the automatic fsck at boot time before, but it usually
either hangs waiting in tsleep() or just panics for me (actually, it
usually boots just fine, but the above have happened more than once).
I've never received that particular error message before.  Is you
/etc/fstab file correct?

You can create a file called /etc/mydomain (it might exist already) and
put something silly in it like 'mydomain.dom', or perhaps something more
useful like your real domain name if you have one.

Of course, this raises the question:  why in the world are you running
ypbind???  Do you have your own intranet?  If you have only one machine,
and it's not tied into a network that you can share passwd and mail alias
information with, there is no good reason to run ypbind.  You can turn it
off by changing the flags in /etc/rc.conf (assuming you upgraded your /etc
files to -current as well as everything else, otherwise I think you have
to edit either /etc/rc or /etc/netstart).

I hope this helps.

Later.
