The system is bookable and I can log in as root, but am unable to use 
many commands.  Going into single use mode, I can vi files. 
Tried fsdsk on /dev/hda and looks like I've got a bad superblock and no 
backup blocks.  fsdsk mentioned I try e2fsck -b 8193 <device>.   I tried 
this and got the same message.
