Most of the time, it can not repair a file system with serious errors 
when you have it mounted. That is why you boot to single user mode. 
FreeBSD does not tolerate HDs with bad sectors.

You would have to really mess up your install for a reinstall to help. I 
usually joke that a reinstall only helps on Windows :). I always choose 
the typical install because that has been tested the most. You can 
always tweak a working system but you can have problems when you pick 
and choose at the first install.

I would still bet on hardware errors but anytime you make a bet you can 
be wrong. When you find what was causing the problem, you can say 
"¡Ahh!" :).

I seriously belive in having a back up until everything works. When you 
have a backup and something dies, you still have the back up. One of 
anything can translate in to nothing works when you have trouble. I 
have 3 email addresses and if almost nothing works I have hotmail on 5 
computers. I can only deal with the interface for 5 minutes or so until 
I mess up something.

De nada :). It is a day to listen to CDs de música latina that I have 
worn out playing them in my car. Right now La 5a estación is playing. 
After them, I will play Elefante.

Feliz Año Nuevo
