Why do we not do something like:

seems like more harm than good. boot might still complete otherwise
but now you are in single user. and how to get out of that :p
Looks like 15.1 behaves exactly like that:
/etc/rc.conf: 13: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
Won't it be better to show error message (as above) and revert to
default config ?
