I have a problem similar to a forgotten root
password, and I've been trying to figure out
how to put my FreeBSD box into single-user mode.

I accidentally created a .zshrc for root with
the single line "alias g `gvim`" so when I try
to log in as root w/o X running I get:
  cannot open displayVim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal
and I can't kill the process.

I'd like to simply delete .zshrc.  Thanks.
