Booting 3b2/300 - Console Problem (Console Sticks)

[Jonathan Scott Willard]

	Recently when I boot up my AT&T 3b2/300 (running System V, 
Version 2.0.5) I have the following problem:

I see:

-> SELF CHECK
->
-> DIAGNOSTICS PASSED
->
->
-> UNIX System V Release ... (all of this stuff)
.
.  (all of the other stuff like node name)
.
->
->	fsstat: root file system needs checking
->	The root file system (/dev/dsk/c1d0s0) is being chec

At this point the fsstat seems to hang.  The console does not respond at
all no matter what key I hit.  The cursor sits right on the column after 
the last c of the word checked.  The only way to get beyond this is to
turn my console off and then back on.  Id there anyway that I can cure
this frustrating behavior?
