To be simple:

When you can’t boot into MacOSX in your mac computer, just Press and hold Apple key + s on you keyboard when powering on, you will get into a text based shell, there we can do some fix without use of Mac install CD.

First, we should know which disk need to run fsck_hfs.

Hint “fsck” and press enter, you will get a error message like:

fsck can’t run on /dev/rdisk0s2

The /dev/rdisk0s2 above is what we need for the following step, if you are installing macosx as default layout, it should be /dev/rdisk0s2

Ok, let’s roll.

Type command: fsck_hfs -fy /dev/rdisk0s2 and hint enter, after a few minutes, it should stop running, end with ***disk modified***

Then you should issue “reboot” command to reboot your mac, if it still doesn’t work, try the following:

fsck_hfs -fry /dev/rdisk0s2

Good luck to you guys.

这篇文章本来不打算恢复的，某然间去Google WMT看到这篇文章有不少链，都来自apple的论坛，就这样404掉好像不太妥，于是手工凭印象恢复了……估计很快就能看到大量（~10ip/day）的访问了。。
