rcm doesn't change /etc/rc.conf AFAIK, and you can't boot into
multi-user without editing it. I found that single-user mode was so
restrictive the only editor I could use to change the file was ex so the
easiest thing to do is probably to

  chmod a+rw /etc/rc.conf

and edit it from RISC OS using UnixFS, remembering to change its
permissions back to something safer when you're back in BSD.
