See below.

I stopped in single-user mode to 'fsck' disk-based file systems that
may have been mounted during the last forced shutdown.  After fsck was
already running, but not yet finished with the first file system, the
"hme1: device timeout" messages began and there were no more progress
messages from 'fsck'.
