FreeBSD 6.3 is out of support for several years already.
If you can, consider upgrading that system to a version
that receives support.

However, FreeBSD is known to run for decades (if maintained
properly, or _not_ touched at all). :-)

What does "now" mean in this context? Did it happen
suddenly out of nowhere, or did you change something
on the server? If yes, what did you change?

The error seems to indicate some problem with /etc/rc.conf
content.

Maybe this older discussion is helpful:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2016-March/270788.html

Check in /etc/rc.conf if you somewhere have a line
like "true=<something>" in it...

But that is a warning. Probably there's an error with
bigger impact related to mounting, maybe an error in
/etc/fstab?

You could try to boot the system into single user mode
first ("boot -s" at loader prompt), then run "fsck",
and finally "mount -a". This should give you a good
indication of what could be the problem.

This mailing list does not support non-text attachments.
Please upload the picture somewhere - or even better,
especially for future reference, type the error message
(and all other important information that might appear
on the server) directly into the message.
