OK Patrick. Here is what I did. Dropped down and booted from the disk to the 
rescue system. I (again) fsck'd every partition on every disk. All clean. Then 
I went to the 10.3 fstab and commented out everything except the four 
partitions for 10.3. That would leave only /10.3, 10.3home. 10.3var, and 
10.3tmp. Then I went to 10.3tmp, and 10.3var and cleaned out everything that I 
thought would help in /10.3var,10.3/var/tmp, and /10.3tmp. Now! these are 10GB 
dedicated partitions, mind you. They couldn't possibly be full, and, it worked 
beautifully before I installed 11.0, and 11.0 was installed on a different 
hard drive. This is crazy!

Still getting the LOGD message that it can't log to /var because it is 
inaccessible. 

There is one other failure message that I didn't mention before. It is"Failed 
/10.3/etc/kbd (line 42 locale) So I went there and it says 
"LOCALE_CHARMAP=lcale charmap". I don't think that has anything to do with 
this.

I also checked out the /etc/group and /etc/passwd for all of the three systems 
as suggested by Rodney Baker. Didn't see anything remiss there either. I am 
not sharing the /var partitions.All separate.

Soooo...Now what? Any other ideas? That's all I want.ideas and clues.
