Some how, I mistype the rc.conf and it is stuck right now. How do I boot with floppy to edit or let's say copy some file from the /dev/whatever to a floppy. This will help me at this time but also later for another problem: I want my boss to feel the power of FreeBSD...I want to install FreeBSD on his PC...The problem is he needs NT to check his mail (Exchange) and the Group Calendar (Exchange). I will have to dual boot, NT and FreeBSD. There are several web sites that show how to copy the bootsec.bsd to a small partition so that he can use the NT Boot loader. I will have to install FreeBSD to boot from the / partition (not the MBR)... As a result, I need to boot to FreeBSD and copy that 512 Magic file to c:\... But right now, I need to bypass this rc.conf.... It stops and I could not do anything...Last time this happen, I ended up re-install the entire FreeBSD for a single mistyping.... Please help ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The instructions said to use Windows 98 or better, so I installed FreeBSD...It is working now!..." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Johnny Dang <Johnny.Dang@johnnydang.net> Senior Network Engineer/MCSE + Internet To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
