BSD 5.4 fs problem...

[xinyu zeng]

Hi,

   I have FreeBSD 5.4 installed. I found each time I use ports to
install software it always hangs there (i have only SSH to connect it)
and there is even no ICMP reply (with ping).

   I got to restart the system and find messages of not properly umount.

'Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
WARNING: / was not properly dismounted
WARNING: /tmp was not properly dismounted
WARNING: /usr was not properly dismounted
WARNING: /var was not properly dismounted
'
   I wounder if this is harddisk error and use 'fsck -y' to check
after it reboot. I know I should umount fs before 'fsck', but I have
no monitor to see it...
