	It's telling you that it has discovered a single inode
	allocated to two different files. Try running fsck on the
	guilty party.

Good advice.

	I'd suggest reformatting and repartitioning the disk from
	scratch, if nobody else has any better ideas.

Bad advice, unless you like wasting time.  After you launch the boot
process from MacOS, click the Cancel button ... this will bring you up
single user.  Run fsck from there, and then reboot.
