Hm, *exactly* what error messages do you get?  If it's the "Don't
login as root...", it's not an error but a warning so you can ignore
it.

As for /etc/rc.conf, I suspect you are booting in single-user mode in
which the root filesystem is mounted read-only by default.  Do:

mount -u /

to remount root fs read-write.

Ah, Ok, as I suspected.
