>Description:
when I was in Xwindow environment, I ran /stand/sysinstall.
I changed the monitor setting (vertical and horizontal freq.).
When I saved the changes, it also changes the file rc.conf. From
what I can see, It repeat the comments. If you change the monitor
setting a few times, the reboot process won't be able to read the
file rc.conf anymore??
