Boots with Black Screen and Unix code

[renasia]

Hi -

I just got a G4-400mHz on eBay and loaded it with OSX 10.3 from an Apple Disc. Worked fine for a couple of days then I added some programs and then ran "Onyx" disk utility on it , nothing too extreme I thought, just permissions and weekly & monthly scripts, however there was somewhere where it gave an option to select "single user" which I did.

Upon restart it came up with a black screen half filled with unix code and other info. Tried to reboot with the OSX disk (with "C" key) but it does the same thing, although with some different text. I COULD enter some some instructions if I knew anything about Unix

Below are some choice intelligable lines displayed on the screen:

Adaptec Warning:Resetting SCSI bus
Local Firewire GUID =0xa27ff;0xfe8cdfaa
ApplePMU:MU FORCED SHUTDOWN, CAUSE = -122
Security auditing present
BSM auditing present
-----
From Path: -(4 full lines of code, etc)
---
BSD root: disk0s3, major 14, minor 2
Journal start pointers reset!
-----
Singleuser boot -- fsck not done
Root device is mounted read-only
If you want to make modifications to files,
run "/sbin/fsck -y" first and then "/sbin/mount -uw /"
localhost:/ root#

--Any ideas on how to reset the whole thing?

I WAS able to get it to start up from a TechTool Version 3, OS 9 Disk, but it did not see ANY other drives.

Thanks for any help you can give!

When you selected single user in Onyx, you changed the default startup
to single-user mode. At the localhost:/ root# prompt, type exit and press
the return key.

Be sure to open Onyx and change back to Normal startup.
