Hi All,

I have a typo/syntax error in my /etc/rc.conf file, and I am now locked
out of my system.  I don't know how to get back in and edit the file.
The kernel lets me run a shell but the root partition is mounted as
read-only.  Can somebody tell me how I can mount the drive and correct
the typo?

I tried running a "fixit" session from the live filesystem on CD 2 of
the distribution set,but it won't let me run the mount command.

Help please !!

thanks in advance,
Len Huppe
