It boots to a heavily resticted system, with only the / file system mounted and the statically linked binaries available. Problem is, I can't edit my rc.conf or remove it. Is their any way I can either selectivly execute statements in the rc.conf during bootup (similar to the old dos method), or a way I can force login, so I can remove the damaged rc.conf. "I made a mistake in rc.conf, or another startup file, and now I cannot edit it because the filesystem is read-only. What should I do?" http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/admin.html#RCCONF-READONLY
