If it's asking you for the /bin/sh location, you might have your /
mounted as read-only. if you do a "mount /" it should remount it as
read+write, then you should be able to go about fixing it as you were
trying to do before.

Subject: about lab.conf
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.
Xu, Qiang
