hald_enable="YES" causes Fatal trap 12

FreeBSD 6.4 and ports builds, everything is current and up-to-date.
This is an older system (Pentium II 400 Mhz with some old hardware).

Trying to get Xorg installed, and put hald_enable="YES" which causes

Code: 
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

when booting up. I used the fixit CD to revert rc.conf so I can boot again.

Any ideas how to get hald to not cause this problem?
 
I am not wise enough to edit rc.conf from single user mode. I need all my userland utilities to get things done. :-) For example I don't think vi or mount were available in single user mode, or I don't know where to find them. I even tried using absolute paths to programs and they still said something like command not found.

As for the dump and backtrace - how do I do this?

That's because if you boot in single user mode only the root (/) filesystem is mounted (read-only too).

Code: 
fsck
mount -u /
mount -a -t ufs

And you're good to go.
