Your system appears to be running in single user mode. In this mode, only
your root file system is mounted in read only mode for safety. Under
/bin/sh, type the following commands:
# /sbin/mount -u /
# /sbin/mount /usr
This will mount your root file system in RW mode and your 'usr'
partition. Now you may type:
# /usr/bin/ee /etc/rc.conf
