Late last night, I got NetBSD installed on a IIci. In my enthusiasm, I
began installing apps (apache, perl, etc...) and tcsh. I tried to change
the root shell to tcsh before I realized that I should probably set up
passwords and a non-root account for myself (it was late as I said). Guess
what? tcsh didn't install properly and now when I try to login as root is
says the application tcsh doesn't exist and takes me back to the login
prompt.
I have tried booting into single user mode but the system comes up in read
only and I can't vipw or cp the password file. I also tried doing cpout
from the mini-shell on the installer but the passwd file comes out and
SimpleText won't open so I can manually change the shell back to something
that works.
Any ideas would REALLY be appreciated. I will also be accepting public
humilitation (time and place to be announced).
