I have had several responses to a previous e-mail concerning this issue but alas, non of them have resolved my problem. I was editing the rc.conf file and I forgot the trailing quotes in one of the lines. Now when I attempt to boot the computer I get the message: /etc/rc.conf: 12: Syntax Error: Unterminated string constant Enter full path name for shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: Well, when I hit RETURN, or type in the path to a shell I know is there (/usr/local/bin/tcsh), it spits out the same message. I cannot get past this point. I have tried to boot the machine in single user mode, with an alternate kernel, but nothing seems to get me past this point. I always wind up with the same message and prompt. Thanks in advance for any asistance.
