[comp.unix.microport] Console Recovered!

console problem.  As you can see, I'm back.
FYI: I first tried booting from my boot disk and then mounting
the root and /usr file systems.  I was able to boot okay but
couldn't mount the file systems due to "Possible File System
Damage". ditto 0s0!  Doug Blair had suggested: use an alternate
console(Alt-F2), su to root to access the inittab file, and 
proceed as usual.  That worked fine!  Thanks again to all.

At that point all you needed to do was
	fsck /dev/[r]dsk/0s0

and all would have been fine :-)
