Can you explain what we are doing here by checking sizes, perhaps I might have some ideas as to proceed, Thanks!
Code:
df -h / /var /usr /opt /mnt
# df -h /
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/pci@1e,600000/ide@d/cdrom@0,0:b
                       270M   253M     0K   100%    /
# df -h /var
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
swap                   7.6G   424K   7.6G     1%    /tmp
# df -h /usr

I was trying to see, if root was able to mount correctly or not after fsck. But it is not.
- Can you reboot it and see, still it is failing on fsck on root file-system ? If still failing, then
- Boot in failsafe mode with this command - "boot cdrom -s"
- Mount c1t0d0s0 on /mnt or /a
Give me output of "df -h"
