Subject: [expert] rc.local Contains a "Freeze-system line"
I was playing around with installing some lin-modem drivers which
claimed they might work (hey, right on!), and I ran a script which
inserted a couple lines to the end of rc.local.
Now, after rebooting, the system freezes after the last line of MY doing
in rc.local (right after an echo command, so I know where it is dying
at).
I am left with just a cursor, and I can type and see characters on the
screen, but I have no prompt and I can't "get" anywhere.
How can I boot up (from install cd even) and clean up rc.local and try
to get Linux back up?
I have tried at startup:
1)Linux root=/dev/fd0 (didn't work, as the floppy I have is a boot disk
only)
2) Linux runlevel=3
Neither one seems to change things. Is there any way I can get a
session running to clean this up without re-installing? Can I even
trick the install CD into putting back the stock rc.local? Anything to
get it up!
