RB800 stoped working

After 2 years of continue working, the RB800, just stoped. After rebooting, it beeps once, but cannot load mikrotik. Here is what it prints in terminal:

RouterBOOT booter 2.30
 
RouterBoard 800
 
CPU frequency: 800 MHz
  Memory size: 256 MB
 
Press any key within 2 seconds to enter setup..
loading kernel from nand.... OK
setting up elf image... OK
jumping to kernel code
Starting...
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: 32: cannot create /var/run/utmp: Directory nonexistent
Power down.
System Halted, OK to turn off power

Can anyone please help me what to do in setup?

RouterBOOT-2.30
What do you want to configure?
  d - boot delay
  k - boot key
  s - serial console
  n - silent boot
  o - boot device
  f - cpu frequency
  r - reset booter configuration
  e - format nand
  g - upgrade firmware
  i - board info
  p - boot protocol
  b - booter options
  t - do memory testing
  x - exit setup
your choice: x - exit setup

I hope that would be a software problem. An electritian who test it, said that he could'nt find any obvious hardware problem.

You might attempt to reinstall routeros via netinstall .

o - boot device ------> select boot from ETH

then reinstal router with neinstall http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Netinstall

Thank you, that seems working...

Allthought, I had some reboots. I realised that 2 of the 4 wireless cards (both CM9) must be problematic. I'm waiting 2 new cards (R52 this time) to have a foul image of the router's behaviour.
