Now I'm trying to not start hald and dbus in rc.conf (I think that's what's causing the kernel problem). So I am using the installation CD and going into fixit mode. The problem is that I can't find rc.conf to edit. In /dev: ad0 ad0s1 ad0s1a ad0s1b ad0s1c ad0s1d ad0s1e ad0s1f I tried mounting all of these, and I realized that one of them is /usr and the other one must be /. Seemed that most of the files were there, except for /etc. It's missing altogether. fixit# mount /dev/ad0s1d /mnt fixit# cd /mnt fixit# find . -type f -name rc.conf I tried this with all of the devices above and cannot find it. Like I said I cannot find /etc at all. BTW it would be nice if I could fix the underlying kernel page fault issue, anyone know how? Uninstall Xorg is one way I guess.
