I returned from a trip last night to find that my always on server (used primarily for media streaming) was not working.  I restarted it and it appears to boot fine until it says

 

VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

 

I have never seen that before.  I press enter and it puts up a couple of lines of text/code and then just stops.

 

Please help!  My kids are going to kill me if they cant watch their shows

Put the flash drive in another machine and run a check on it.

Implication is that the flashdrive has some corruption on it.  

 

Toss it into a windows box and check the filesystem on it.

 

If that doesn't get you anywhere, download unRaid again from Limetech's website, and overwrite all the bz* files in the root of the flash with ones from the downloaded zip and try it again.

I put it in my windows machine and it pulled up just fine.  I did a check for errors and it found none.  What check should I be doing?

Right click, properties, scan for errors.

 

Barring that, redo the bz files per above
