Dear FreeBSD.org supporter,

I think I misspelled something in rc.conf.  Right after the "starting standard daemons: inetd cron sendmail", my conputer hangs.
After about 5 minutes of that, it shows "Recovering vi editor sessions", and gives me longin prompt after 10 minutes.

Another disturbing this is that at root, I'm getting a mail, I guess from daemon, with a following text:

" On Tue May 1 22:29:33 2001, the user root was editing a file named help on the machine , when it was saved for recovery.  You can recover most, if not all, of the changes to this file using the -r option to vi:

    vi -r help"

Why am I getting messages as such?

Thank you very much! I want to get it running so that I can brag about FreeBSD when my friends come to my home.
It's great OS.  I'm happy that I'm learning other than that M***soft stuff.

Kenji
