Aha! I thought you were already past that point and in the shell. But you're
not: you're being prompted for the root password. So you first have to type
the root password, then it will give you a shell prompt. Once in that
interactive root shell, you can issue the appropriate fsck commands to fix up
your filesystems. You may also need to remount your root filesystem
read-write, as another poster suggested.
