What size is your hd0s2 partition?
Try "settrans -a ..." which will probably show more error messages.

No, it means it started up correctly so far and found the disk to be
unclean. It's a warning, and it falls back to read only mode because of
that. Remove the translator ("settrans -afg /linux") and then do
e2fsck /dev/hd0s2
and everything will be ok. Or do "fsysopts /linux -w" to make it writeable
and continue at your own risk :)
