	That's because vi is in /usr and usr doesn't get mounted in single
user. The procedure *I think* goes something like this:

1.) boot to single user
2.) "mount /"
3.) "mount /usr"
4.) "su"
5.) "tset vt220"
6.) "vi filename.ext"
7.) set root password
8.) set local timezone.
 etc. etc. 

	I haven't actually tried this in 1.5 or 1.5.X, so YMMV. Don't ask
me why you have to su to change the terminal type, I've always wondered
why myself, but just blindly accept it because it works.
