while editing my /etc/rc.conf file iv'e forgotten to unquote a string
on the next reboot I get
Pre-seeding PRNG: kickstart
/etc/rc.conf: 23: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:

from then on I thought, just vim the file & rectify, but no .. that aint working...

I know it's stupid but, I am stuck
