So, my brother found a problem with the latest i386 snapshot. Apparently
/dev/console and /dev/ttyE0 are both "on" in /etc/ttys, causing problems
with the first virtual terminal. I don't know if this is related to your
issue or not.
Anyway, regarding what to edit in single-user, you problably want to enable
the /dev/console in /etc/ttys and disable /dev/ttyE0. This is done by
changing "on" to "off" as appropriate.
You also probably want to add "sshd=YES" in /etc/rc.conf and configure the
network by creating an /etc/ifconfig.blah0 with "w.x.y.z netmask n.n.n.n"
so you can login remotely.
Oh, and you might need to set "PermitRootLogin = yes" in /etc/sshd.conf or
create a user like this:
useradd -G wheel -m your_userid
