I was editing my rc.conf file and screwed it up. I'm getting these errors: "Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s2a" "/etc/rc.conf: 15: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string" "Enter full pathname of shell or Return for /bin/sh:" When I enter "/bin/tcsh" to get to a shell with some decent commands I get these errors: "sh: Cannot open /etc/termcap" "sh: using dumb terminal settings" I cannot get to root and I cannot edit any files. When I try to "ed rc.conf" so I can fix the file I get the reply: "/tmp/ed.nxI103: Read-only file system" I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.3. I've considered fdisking, formatting, and installing 4.5. What should I do? Thanks in advance for any help. Daniel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
