Three questions:
Q1:
I screwed up rc.conf. I needed to edit it by login as a single user. =
When I start a vi session, this is what I get:
ex/vi: Error: Unable to create temporary file: Read-only file =
system
How can I start vi session so that I can modify rc.conf?
Q2:
I was trying to configure connectivity with the Internet. I entered =
this statement:
# route add default 4.50.48.1
Then, I verified my entry by typing:
# netstat -rn
I believe I SHOULD see like this:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 4.50.48.1 UGSc 4 72 ed1
Problem is I don't see it. I'm assuming the gateway is not honored. =
Why?
Q3:
For kernel configuration, what is the following?
device miibus
Thx for help.
Kenji
