This is what I might do:

	fsck
	mount -a
	eval `tset -s vt220`
	vi /etc/rc.conf

(or use "ed" if that's what you really want!) Now change the NO in
rc_configured=NO to YES, also fill in your hostname, and change any of
the other settings that apply. Save and exit ("ZZ" with vi). Give root
a password:

	passwd -l root

Now reboot,

	shutdown -r now

and with any luck, your system will come up in multi-user mode. If you
need to put something in /etc/hosts, you can do that after you login:
the change will take effect immediately.
