You are seeing that error because you are halting the system in such an abrupt fashion,

that it requires you to perform "repairs" to whatever caused the abrupt interruption.

That "cause" just happened to be you in this instance.

Change autoboot to `false` and reset the system.

It will automatically reboot and stop at OBP.

If necessary, immediately do another reset.

Then you can boot from the optical drive and perform whatever repairs

you deem necessary to the filesystem(s) and files.

Once the system is repaired, you then reset auto-boot to `true`, again.
