I pkg_added gdm, and i did following stupid things: 1. I edit /etc/ttys and chenged the 0st login from getty to "/usr/X11R6/bin/gdm -nodeamon xterm ..." and 2. I commented out other virtual consoles. I checked handbook and found it's wrong (i should use gdm on a virtual console and keep other gettys there unchanged). But it's too late now. Now the computer boots and tells me "gnm group cannot fond, using nobody" etc. What's worse, since i commented out all other gettys i cannot login and change /etc/ttys back. What should i do now?
