Be careful. You can't run fsck on a volume that you are booted from anyway.

It's telling you to run fsck manually so you will need to boot from DVD into single user:

Code:
ok> boot cdrom -s

Then run 'fsck' on your boot device and use the -n switch to ensure it doesn't write anything to the device until you know how extensive the damage is. If you let it auto-repair (-y switch) it might destroy the whole filesystem on the ground faster than you can blink. So use the -n switch and assess the damage first.

fsck_cachefs(1M)					  System Administration Commands					  fsck_cachefs(1M)

NAME

       fsck_cachefs - check integrity of data cached with CacheFS

SYNOPSIS

       fsck -F cachefs [-m] [-o noclean] cache_directory

DESCRIPTION

       The  CacheFS  version  of the fsck command checks the integrity of a cache directory.This utility corrects any CacheFS problems it finds by
       default. There is no interactive mode. The most likely invocation of fsck for CacheFS file systems is at boot time from	an  entry  in  the
       /etc/vfstab file. See  vfstab(4).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -m	       Check, but do not repair.

       -o noclean      Force a check on the cache even if there is no reason to suspect there is a problem.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using fsck_cachefs to Force a Check on the Cache Directory

       The following example forces a check on the cache directory /cache3:

       example% fsck -F cachefs -o noclean /cache3
