Three questions:

Q1:
I screwed up rc.conf.  I needed to edit it by login as a single user.  When I start a vi session, this is what I get:
    ex/vi:  Error:  Unable to create temporary file:  Read-only file system
How can I start vi session so that I can modify rc.conf?

Q2:
I was trying to configure connectivity with the Internet.  I entered this statement:
    #  route add default 4.50.48.1

Then, I verified my entry by typing:
    #  netstat -rn

I believe I SHOULD see like this:
    Destination    Gateway    Flags    Refs    Use    Netif Expire
    default            4.50.48.1    UGSc    4        72        ed1

Problem is I don't see it.  I'm assuming the gateway is not honored.  Why?

Q3:
For kernel configuration, what is the following?
    device        miibus

Thx for help.

Kenji
