Failed boot after battery fell out of laptop

Hi All

I unplugged the laptop to move it but then when I picked it up the battery fell out causing it to crash.

Now when I boot up it fails and drops me into single user mode.

I get messages that say
Code: 
"/home/Jeff: No such file or directory"

If I run
zfs mount -a
in single user mode I can see that the file system is all there.

I do see
Code: 
/dev/gpt/efiboot0: FILESYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS

Any ideas as to what I can do to get this laptop running again?
 
Take a photo of the screen when you are dropped to single user.
 
Ok, here it is

It looks fuzzy in the thumbnail but is readable when you click on it.

Well... You don't have any redundancy in your system pool. You can try a zpool scrub zroot, but it won't resolve the problem just check if there is one. The directory /home/Jeff exists and is accessible?
 
ding ding - we have a winner!

Thanks nxjoeseph! It was the fstab file!

I had recently added a line to make mounting my camera easier

Code: 
/dev/da0s1 /home/Jeff/media msdos rw

After I Commented this out the laptop now boots normally.

So this had nothing to do with the battery falling out, it was just the first reboot since I edited fstab.

Good new. I was thinking you were root on ufs because zfs is almost proof to sudden power off; ufs isn't.
