Greetings, My 4.10 server is halting during the boot process because the kern.maxfiles entry in /etc/sysctl.conf is corrupted or wrong (though I have not changed it in some time). What I want to do is simply remove that entry from the sysctl.conf file, but I cannot even get into the system. I have a presentation later today based on some of the work I've done on that server -- if someone could clue me in on how to best get in to fix that file, I'd really appreciate it. I've tried the Brazilian LiveCD ISO, without success -- the keyboard mappings are for Portugeuse, not English. -- Stephen.
