It is probably not in your limited path in single user or not in a mounted partition. You may have to mount the partition containing 'vi', probably /usr. While in single user, do: fsck -p mount -u / mount -a swapon -a Then you should be able to use vi as: /usr/bin/vi /etc/rc.conf using the full path for vi skips over putting it in your path. Make your fix and reboot. ////jerry > > Thanks > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
