Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Darwin/BSD (localhost) (console) on a dark screen. What does this mean?

This morning I attempted to start up twice and got this message on a dark screen. Behind it "Responder couldn't read user specified computer name". On the third try it started up normally. What does this indicate?

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.4.10), Western Digital - My Book external Hard drive
