"mount -u /" (assuming your /etc is in the root slice) will change it to =

  Subject: syntax error in rc.conf


  I added a line to my rc.conf and like the idiot I am, I missed a =
quote.  Now when I boot I get an error about an unterminated quoted =
string and the filesystem mounts read-only.  How can I get my file to an =
editable state?
