[SunHELP] fsck on root question

[jh]

No Problem to fsck md-Devices. The metadevices are handeld like normal slices,
so it`s possible to run a fsck.
Go down in Single-User-mode (init s, init S or init 1) or boot from cdrom (boot
cdrom -s in the OBP). After this you can check: # fsck /dev/md/rds/d0
