For someone who asked a
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!

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,
17 matches
