Hi: I loaded FBSD 3.1 on an old pentium today. The network card was not working so I added some lines to rc.conf. Unfortunately the first of these lacked the " before the value so the boot process bombed out at, presumably, single user stage. No editors were available except ed but ed couldn't do anything since the file system was readonly. I can't mv the file either for the same reason. How do I change the state of the file system to read-write so that I can at least boot the system all the way and then repair the file with vi? TIA mvh/regards James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
