HELP!!! FreeBSD Not booting Urgent

I edited the rc.conf file and forgot to put a " at the end of one of the statements. Now the system is not booting. What do I do? I tried booting knoppix up to mount the drive but no luck. Its ufs file system. Please help.

From The FreeBSD Handbook...
Quote:
7.6.2 Single-User Mode
This mode can be reached through the automatic reboot sequence, or by the user booting with the -s option or setting the boot_single variable in loader.

It can also be reached by calling shutdown(8) without the reboot (-r) or halt (-h) options, from multi-user mode.

If the system console is set to insecure in /etc/ttys, then the system prompts for the root password before initiating single-user mode.
Which shouldn't touch your Resource Configuration stuff so you should be able to edit your broken rc.conf.

Regards
