It would be helpful if you could tell us which version of FreeBSD you're
using and what you did/changed just prior to getting this error.

I ask because this error is quite common after having just upgraded to 3.1
or 3.x-STABLE, and the solution is to boot into single user mode and modify
your /etc/rc.conf to stop calling itself (it's near the end of the file).

Of course, if people upgraded their /etc directory when they upgraded the
rest of their system, they wouldn't have this problem.
