When you see the "Enter full pathname of shell.." just hit the
Enter/Return key on your keyboard.

At the command prompt, type:

fsck -y /var

(If there is more than one file system that needs fixing, you can put
that on the command line as well:)

fsck -y /var /usr etc.etc.etc.

Wait until it's done. Once you get the command prompt back (it looks
like #), type <CTRL><D> to log out, which should complete the boot process.

Good luck,
