I am setting up a new server so I could just reinstall, but this is a learning opportunity. I was changing the hostname of the computer. In rc.conf I apparently left the leading " off the name. BSD doesn't like this. It stops the boot and allows/forces me to a shell. So I found that "cat" shows me the error of my ways. vi apparently doesn't exist or is stored somewhere that I cannot find because "find" does not work either. I did find "ed" and thought I would be learning how to use it, but alas trying to launch it tells me that I have a readonly file system. So, is there any way for me to fix my typo, or is reinstall my only option. Thanks, Larry Nobs
