What you are doing
If you have a freebsd boot cdrom or floppy lying around,
your best bet is to boot into fixit mode, and mount the
drive read-write containing your /etc directory.
Use vi or similar to edit /etc/ttys and reboot into single
user mode.
Hope that helps.

Dear James,
I had a mergemaster problem a while back, but I haven't debugged it
properly. I had my /etc/ppp symlinked into /home/root/ppp.
Then, after a
mergemaster run I ended up with a file named /etc/ppp, which had the
contents of the new version of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.

Hello,
while porting a software to FreeBSD, I came across a problem with
pthread_attr_setscope(3). The software sets PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM
attribute. From the pthread_attr_setscope(3) implementation file, a

It would be very difficult to maintain FreeBSD's GigaBit
