I decided last night that due to all my PPP problems, to just go ahead 
and upgrade from 2.1.7 to 2.2.5.

Everything was as smooth as silk until it got done and said you do not 
have an rc.conf file and this is decidely irregular or something like 
that and went on to say your system may act strangely.  Well, strangely 
is not exactly the word.  When I rebooted, I get to a login prompt but 
cannot log in as root, or anybody!

Is this whole upgrade hosed?  Do I have to start over with a new install 
and trash all my previous files and setups?

Or is there some magic that can get me in so that I can login as root and 
get my /etc/group file fixed back up?

Man am I depressed :-(
