You are probably being stuck in single user mode and need to do a "mount -a". How was it broken? You shouldn't be modifying it any way. If you were editing it, you can get the original from /usr/src/etc/defaults/rc.conf. Then you should be able to copy the original or edit your current one and make it work.
