Hi...
I was trying to disable the console screensaver, and found that in
sysinstall, there is no way to select "none" as an option.
So I went and edited /etc/rc.conf to comment out the line:-
Saver="fire" (or whatever it is)
I put a ; at the beginning of the line, and now FreeBSD wont come up,
showing an error (unexpected ;) and leaving me with a # prompt.
How do I get to re-edit rc.conf, to correct the problem, as all command
line commands result in a "not found" error.
Also. What's the "Correct" way to disable a console screensaver?
Sysinstall alows you to select and enable one, but not remove it!
Bit of an oversight that I suspect....
Regards.
