I have a serious problem!!!  For some reason I can no longer log into
my FreeBSD 1.1-GAMMA system.  Not as root, not as myself.  No one can
log in!  The only thing I can think of that might have caused it is
that I downloaded and installed the secrdist because there was a 
program I thought needed it.  That was last night and now.. no log in.
Is there some way for me to boot the machine in single user mode or
some way for me to get back in???

HELP!!!!
Dan
