It means you have a really old Mac running an extremely old OS from before OSX.

You will need to provide more details such as the exact model of your Mac and the version of MacOS it is running.


My first guess is you have a bad hard drive. Do you have an external boot drive or a MacOS CD installer so you can run First Aid on the drive?
