No, this message has nothing to do with System.map. it's a MacOS error
message that basically tells you that some internal file system data
structures have become corrupted.
I've seen this error poping up regulary on recent macs (without MOL, I
mean with a real MacOS) for no apparent reason. I think there's a weird
bug in MacOS 9 and later causing this to happen occasionally during
driver load time. I'm not yet sure but it may be related to some issues
in the USB subsystem of MacOS.
I suggest you check you have up-to-date MacOS ROM (I think the latest one
is 3.8 and comes with the "Ethernet Update"), MacOS disk drivers, etc...
Eventually, you can try re-installing your MacOS.
