No, so many of us run mission-critical servers on FreeBSD because it is
completely unreliable. And we're forcing you to run it to lose all your
data.

I'm curious, did you tried to google for that message ? Are you sure the
computer was in FreeBSD when the power got off ? Sure ? Do you blame
FreeBSD, the other operating system or your boot loader ?

The way you are formulating your messages it almost seems to me you do
not want help, but just to annoy people who could help you set your
system you.
