While looking for some command help last night, I found a command somewhere that would run a disk scan. I was afraid to run it destructive as I am not sure where we are going from this point and didn't want to do anything that was non-repairable... The command was "badtrk," this will apparently block that section of the drive and keep it from being used. From my best guess it seems to be a lot like Windows Scan Disk in that reguard. Except I am not familiar with it enough to know what it will and won't do and I do not want it deleting the data that is located in that block of the drive.
When the system boots, it comes up to the login screen. Once you enter the user and password, then it starts showing all the errors. I am able to navigate the file structure and access most anything, so I am under the impression that I am logged into root.
There is a floppy drive in this machine. The local technician was very adimant about running daily backups of the database. So, we should be able to rebuild without too much problems.
I will check into the .profile file and see what I can find. We were able to find some other software in another location as well, so we may very well be able to replace the hard drive and reload without too many more problems.

crashdc(8) System Manager's Manual crashdc(8)
NAME
crashdc - Diagnostic data collection for a running or crashed system
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/crashdc [system-kernel] [core-image]
DESCRIPTION
The crashdc utility examines the core image of the operating system to extract critical diagnostic data. This utility is a shell script
that invokes several tools and commands that extract selected parameters of a running or a crashed system (for example, system configura-
tion, running processes, and panic messages).
The arguments to the crashdc utility are the system kernel and the core image. The default values are /vmunix and /dev/mem, respectively.
If you specify no arguments, the crashdc utility examines the running system.
The system usually invokes the crashdc utility during system startup. If the most recent core dump has been saved by the savecore command,
both the core image and the system kernel (respectively vmcore.n and vmunix.n, where the variable n is the crash number) are saved in the
crash directory (by default, /var/adm/crash). Also, the crashdc utility saves the output as the file crash-data.n (where the variable n is
the crash number) in the crash directory. The crashdc utility is invoked only if crash-data.n output in the crash directory does not exist
or is not from the most recent crash.
