Well, do you know what that error means in general?

Straight from the code (I'm assuming 1stMud is a ROM variant)...

log_string ( strArea );

for ( ; ; )
{
char *word;

if ( fread_letter( fpArea ) != '#' )
{
bug( "Boot_db: # not found.", 0 );
exit( 1 );
}

So it's looking for a # that isn't there, on the starting line.

Do you have a backup or original of that area file somewhere?

Basically you have an incomplete area file somehow, and that's your culprit...
