Re: NetBSD-10.0RC

Fixed /etc/rc.conf

I found a cool piece of sed -- did this

cd /mnt/etc
sed -e "s/rc\_configured\=NO/rc\_configured\=YES/g"   rc.conf > rc.conf.tmp


check rc.conf.tmp ; then deside if I wanna do use rc.conf.tmp


NetBSD came up, and I cound login.  I can now fix what I have.

I found sed -e "   " in notes from June 2009. HEHEHE   :-)
