hi,

i have stuffed up my rc.conf file and am recieveing an error during boot
[syntax]. I can find it when i go into the defult shell [sh], however I
cannot replace or edit it because I am not root/wheel. Is there a way of
replacing the file with a default or over riding it, or su -ing to root
somehow from the deafult shell?
