Hi Please excuse me for my ignorance, as I am fairly new to FreeBSD. I have a FreeBSD 6.0 running on a test system. I successfully installed mysql5 server from the ports collection. Now to make it start during the boot process, I created a file "/etc/rc.local" and entered the complete path of the mysqld_safe (/usr/bin/mysqld_safe if I am not wrong) in the same file. I later realised that this is not the correct way to start mysql daemon, but the problem is that I did not make any changes to the /etc/rc.local file. Now when I reboot the machine, the boot process simply stops after starting mysqld daemon. It will not go away even after trying Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Q or Ctrl-Break. I tried sshing into the machine from another system, but it seems that sshd is not up yet, so I can't just login and change the /etc/rc.local file. It is pinging the test machine without problems, so atleast the network interface is up. How do I go about wither bypassing the commands written in the "/etc/rc.local" file or editing "/etc/rc.local" file to comment out the offending mysqld line. If it is of any significance, I am running a software Raid1 setup on my test system. Thanks for your help Amitabh
