[afnog] ad0 FAILURE

[Emmanuel Antwi Kwarteng]

Hi all,

I get this error message when I boot my freebsd machine.

------------------------------
WARNING: / was not properly dismounted
ad0: FAILURE - READ_MUL status=59<READY, DSC,  DRQ, ERROR> 
error=40<UNCORRECTABLE> LBA= 1505695
Oct 3 11:57:57 init: can't exec /bin/sh for /etc/rc: Input/Output error
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
-----------------------------

I googled it and all points to hard disk failure.
Any other ideas?
