Hi,

A friend is uning a team internet box, from what i understand these are a proxy server/mail server/webserver all in one and run Debian.
They have an admin panel sort of like the cobalt machines so you dont have to mess with the insides, but no ps2 ports for keyboard or mouse.

His problem is that after it crashed a number of days ago, on boot up there is an error on his HDD, and fsck is forced to run, however after about a minute it comes back with an error saying there is a problem on dev/hda3 and to run fsck disk manually without the -a and -p options.
Problem is how can i he fsck disk with no keyboard? There are serial ports and usb ports if these help at all.

Thanks

Sam
