It is unmounted

That is what I thought and am doing.  The only problem is that when I do
that it comes up with the following errors and then seems to freeze. Or
perhaps I am not waiting long enough

cathy# fsck /dev/da1s1f
** /dev/da1s1f
** Last Mounted on /var
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
CANNOT READ: BLK 29163616
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY

CONTINUE? [yn] y

THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 29163616,
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
MISSING '.'  I=1759514  OWNER=1002 MODE=40700

DIR=?

UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY

Then It freezes or continues to give

errors

Should I just leave it and wait?
