I assume -u above is just typo in email

Do you have /usr on separate filesystem, or everything under /? Above
errors are what I get if I try to fsck/mount normal directory.

In any case, even without /usr, if you have / mounted, you should be
able to edit your rc.conf and whatever other configuration files you
need with /rescue/vi
