[j-nsp] M7i won't go through password recovery.

[OBrien, Will]

Offhand, I'd say you're not running fsck on the partition that's failing.
Try looking at /dev/da* and making sure that you've run it on all of the partitions.

Otherwise, there are some emergency options but I haven't done them..

I'm not an expert with these things, at all.  I'm probably just missing something very simple.  Hoping one of you can talk me down from the ledge.  Thanks much.  Sample output below:
