Hi. mccormick-3 wants an fsck, but its keyboard isn't responding.
mccormick-2 had a missing network cable. I tried switching keyboards,
and was able to type on 3, but "/" was mapped to a e-acute, or some
other funny European character, and I was too lazy to think of a way to
trick the shell into giving me a "/" so I could specify the device to
fsck. I took the network cable on 3 and put it on 2, and rebooted it,
and it now seems fine.
The machines in here are slower than a wet week, btw.
HTH.
Alex.
