I would suggest finding and deleting that file.

God, I hate HFS+. If Apple would only do Mac FS emulation on top of UFS:
using hidden files to hold the finder info and resource forks, this could
be done above the file system layer and give you Mac FS semantics on top
of any file system, even over the network.

I'd love to run UFS-only, especially now that Panther has picked up a more
recent UFS.

You may be able to see the rest of the messages, after you reboot to
single-user:

cd /var/log
less system.log
<use space to page through it, backspace to back up>

You should be able to unpack the older drivers from the packages in the shell.

cd /wherever/it/is/file.pkg
ls
<find the <archive>.pax file>
cp archive.pax /tmp
cd /tmp
pax -r < archive.pax

Then copy the drivers to the right spot.

This is why I run with multiple partitions. If all else fails I can fall back
to an older install on a spare partition, boot into it, and fix things from
there. I had to do that in my OS 9 "Myst/Riven" box a couple of days ago.
