Hello. I'm a complete noob here.
I had installed FreeBSD for the first time this weekend on a Dell Mini. I had it running with gnome installed. I had to make my own driver for the wireless network card and I think my wireless configuration is at the root of the problem. If only I could get to my /etc/rc.config file!
I left the computer on last night before bed while it was installing VLC. I had also modified the wifi settings in the /etc/rc.conf file without testing with a restart (doh!). When I woke up it was turned off. Upon restart I received the message below. I can't even reinstall the OS with my USB key for some reason. I've tried booting regular, single user, verbose, etc. but nothing works.
I'm afraid I've broken the computer! Can someone tell me how to get back into my system? Thanks.
Jason
