What are you using to edit /etc/rc.conf?  What is the exact error message
you are getting?  What is the exact command you are typing?

Have you seen the login prompt yet?

Ummmm...are you sure you installed everthing?  I thought that "su" was in
/bin, but I could be wrong...

If you've got that prompt, you should be root at the time.  Is this the
single-user prompt?  Have you seen any messages about starting the
network, starting daemons, or building database, etc?
