Can't enter password at -s screen

[Mercian]

Hi all,

I have followed the guide up to this step:


Type “-s” and hit enter
2. Wait for the text skim by until it stops. Then type “/sbin/fsck –fy” and press enter

and I should be seeing "File system was modified"

When I enter this I get:


** /dev/rdisk1s1
** Root file system
** Checking Non-journaled HFS Plus volume
Invalid extent entry
(6,2)
** Volume check failed.
/dev/rdisk1s1 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8

I've tried deleting the partition and installing iDeneb again and this hasn't helped. Could anyone advise?

Many thanks.
