I tried to edit /etc/rc.conf and now the machine won't boot. It gives me a syntax error in the file and brings me to a shell selection in the middle of the boot process before logon. From this shell (doesn't matter which) i can do some things, but i can't edit (w/ ee or vi) rc.conf nor delete it. What can i do? I do have a cd. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Benjamin Krueger" <benjamin@macguire.net> To: "Jeff Jeter" <gsfgf@softhome.net> Cc: "FreeBSD Questions" <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 11:14 PM Subject: Re: I killed my network > * Jeff Jeter (gsfgf@softhome.net) [020419 20:04]: > > My com restarted and i had an IP address conflict.
