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.
