Three questions:

Q1:

I screwed up rc.conf. I needed to edit it by = login as a=20 single user. When I start a vi session, this is what I = get:

ex/vi: Error: Unable = to create=20 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=20 Internet. I entered this statement:

# route add default=20 4.50.48.1

Then, I verified my entry by typing:

# netstat -rn

I believe I SHOULD see like this:

Destination =20 Gateway Flags Refs = Use Netif Expire

default =20 4.50.48.1 =20 UGSc 4 =20 72 ed1

Problem is I don't see it. I'm assuming the = gateway is=20 not honored. Why?

Q3:

For kernel configuration, what is the = following?

device = =20 miibus

Thx for help.
