Thanks Michael!!!  That did the trick!  A new error message has cropped up 
during bootup.  The message is

/sbin/dmraid invalid option -- i

I looked up rc.sysinit and there is a call to /sbin/dmraid with a '-i' 
option. But, looking at the man page, there is no 'i' option listed.  Can
anyone shed any light?  The system was running with software RAID 1 disks.
But, it appears to be running without any problems at the moment.

Thanks again!
