This is not a problem. Only, in single user mode it gave me a blank screen and then I could not navigate and it even froze - I was able to exit without saving, but the files were still screwed up.

Either that or be careful to always set the EDITOR
environment variable.  In single user you'll probably also need to:

    TERM=cons25 ; export TERM

for most full screen editors.

Hmmm... question: My screen is set to cons50 with green on black

While we're at it, I'm a little klost on the setting of environment variables. So far in several years of putzin about with FBSD, I have never had to actually set the variables. All has always worked well by default. So, how would I go about setting the environment variables, especially in single user mode? Do I shutdown now and at the prompt enter TERM=cons50 ? And when I go into single user mode, I have been setting the shell to /usr/local/sbin/bash - does it really make any difference if I use that or should I just go with the default csh?
