If you have a disk with errors and you boot off of LNX-BBC 2.1, it will 
try to mount the disk and, seeing it has errors, fsck and then complain 
that it needs a manual fsck and ask for the root password. Of course, 
there is no root password, so whatever you type it replies "Login 
incorrect."

Sorry, I was switching the monitor back and forth between two machines 
and got confused about which one was booting the LNX-BBC. LNX-BBC does 
not automatically fsck, so I retract this bug.
