[-- Attachment #1 --] I made a couple errors in editing the rc.confg file, and as a result the boot process doesn't get me to the login prompt. It stops and asks me for the full pathname of the shell or to press RETURN for /bin/sh. I haven't been able to determine what the "full pathname" is, and couldn't get anywhere in /bin/sh. Can anyone help this Windows-indoctrinated newbie get back to working with FBSD? With thanks in advance.
