At this line, you press the RETURN/ENTER key. You will be given a command promt that should be # (or $). At that stage, you are in command mode, you cannot use the mouse, there is no window system, you have to type commands on the keyboard and see the result on the screen. You type the command "fsck", it will scan your disks for inconsistencies and prompt you for action. Now it is up to you to give sensible answers to the questions (as I don't know what inconsistencies it will detect, I cannot tell you what to answer for each question). When fsck has finished working, you type the command "exit" and your machine should finish booting properly.
