How can I repair wrong /etc/rc.conf ?

2010-03-08 Thread oscar Seo
I'm using FreeBSD 6.4 + windowmaker in IBM notebook.
I edited /etc/rc.conf to use LAN other ip address is different from my home
address in my school.
I got error message from this
[
/etc/rc.conf: 131: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
]
so that I returned, I decided to edit /etc/rc.conf using vi.
But freebsd didn't find vi, less any other application.
I can't modify even if read /etc/rc.conf.
fortunately I can use cat so I found my fault sting from /etc/rc.conf but I
can't modify any files cause the system changed into read only file system.
How can I repair /etc/rc.conf file with fault statements using any editor?

Thanks in advanced.
Oscar

freebsd 6.4 can't load kernel after upgrade

2009-10-30 Thread oscar Seo
I'm a beginner in freebsd.
my machine consists of freebsd-6.4 + i386 bootstrap loader,+ windowmaker
after upgrade freebsd-6.4 using sysinstall then reboot the system,
I got an error message as follows
+++
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
Unable to load a kernel!
/
can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK _
+++

so I decided to reinstall freebsd-6.4 but I can't boot and re-install
freebsd using CD-rom.
what shall I do boot my system using installed freebsd or live-CD ?
Thanks...
