--------------E38F64D897603709C523519F Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Sir/Madam: I met a problem. Since I want to build a lab running on FreeBSD, I change the rc.conf file. I add .etc/lab.conf at the end. But I make some mistake in the lab.conf file, I lose ;; in the case statement. Then when I reboot, system tell me there is mistake in lab.conf and then ask me to run /bin/sh, then there is the # prompt, and no login. So I could not login as root or other users. I try to do the following: 1. rewrite the lab.conf on the other PC, then try to overwrite it, but it tell me the lab.conf is readonly file system 2. I try to run vi to modify the lab.conf on the local PC, but vi doesn't run. What I should do? Thank you.
