The right way to do this is just to remove /etc/rc.conf (that's how it was before you started this whole expedition). > WOW O WOW. was that a bad move. > now it no longer has those errore but spits out "Out of fie > descriptors" and prompts my for a direct path of enter for > single user mode shell. PLEASE O PLEASE.... help me if you can. If you look at the very bottom of /etc/defaults/rc.conf, you'll see what's causing the problem. It's sourcing itself over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over.... Thankfully it hits a limit and quits. Remove /etc/rc.conf, and then start over again.
