Hi,

    Just boot in to single user mode "boot: boot -s" mount your / partition
"mount /" and erase this lines at the bottom of your /etc/rc.conf file:

for i in ${rc_conf_files}; do
        if [ -f $i ]; then
                . $i
        fi
done

This creates a loop in your system, then you can reboot your system
"shutdown -r now", and thats all.

Have Fun...

Ales
