Hi...
I was trying to disable the console screensaver, and found that in
sysinstall, there is no way to select none as an option.
So I went and edited /etc/rc.conf to comment out the line:-
Saver=fire (or whatever it is)
I put a ; at the beginning of the line, and now FreeBSD wont come up,
Your PATH isn't set.
# fsck /
# mount -uw /
# /bin/sed -i.bak -e 's/^;//' /etc/rc.conf
Or (can't remember where des is kept)
# fsck /usr
# mount /usr
# /usr/bin/sed -i.bak -e 's/^;//' /etc/rc.conf
Good luck!
Chris

It seems that /etc/rc.conf is in need of a sytax check script. Something
similiar to visudo for editing /usr/local/etc/sudoers.
Just run it with /bin/sh. If no errors appear the syntax is good. Or
you can use /bin/sh
