Subject:   cannot login - a mistake in gdm

I'm running FreeBSD-4.4 Stable with GNOME and enlightment. I pkg_added gdm, 
and i did following stupid things: 

1. I edit /etc/ttys and chenged the 0st login from getty to 
"/usr/X11R6/bin/gdm -nodeamon xterm ..." and
2. I commented out other virtual consoles. 

I checked handbook and found it's wrong (i should use gdm on a virtual 
console and keep other gettys there unchanged). But it's too late now. Now 
the computer boots and tells me "gnm group cannot fond, using nobody" etc. 
What's worse, since i commented out all other gettys i cannot login and 
change /etc/ttys back. What should i do now?

Please do not reply to this address, use zhangweiwu@private.21cn.com 
instead, as you can find in mail header.
