unable to start "diskroot" (8)

Hi All,

after some sequences of shutdowns and re-boots … I got the
following boot message:

"Hit ESC for .altboot … Unable to start “diskroot” (8)

and the machine locks up :frowning:

Booting by .altboot works … still.

Any opinions or proposals for fixing that problem ??? I’m using 6.1
