- Error 2 is ENOENT which (ofcourse) means that the kernel couldn't find
- the swap file named /dev/dsk/c0d0s2. From the looks at the fsck message:

-
- This means that the RDB table has been destroyed. From the repair
- disk prompt try:
-
- # rdb /dev/dsk/c0d0s0
-
- Or try using hdtoolbox from AmigaDOS to repair this disk.

- Yes, you will probably need to re-install. As for why this keeps
- occuring I don't know. I would have to know more about your system.
