Hi,

I was trying to add a additional ip address to my test FreeBSD machine by
issuing the following command :

1) cp /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf_backup
2)vi /etc/rc.conf
3)I typed in the following entry

ifconfig_rl0_alias0="192.168.1.189 netmask 255.255.255.0

When I reboot the computer I get the following error message:

Mount root from ufs:/dev/ads1sa
/etc/rc.conf 24 Syntax Error: Unterminated quotated string
Enter Full path name of shell or return for /bin/sh

I have tried typing in cp /etc/rc.conf_backup /etc/rc.conf

I have tried typing in fsck then typing in

cp /etc/rc.conf_backup /etc/rc.conf


How do I get it to restart properly?
