How can I repair /etc/rc.conf file with fault statements using any editor? It is because not all of your filesystems are mounted. Probably you can gett away with just doing fsck -a mount -u mount -a From then you can edit. If it will not run the fsck or the mount -a, then you will have to reboot in to single user mode and do the above. jerry Thanks in advanced.

Oscar The are multiple ways to do this, easiest is to type in at the sh prompt: mount -a You would then have access to /usr, vi is in /usr/bin/vi -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
