Hey there.  Taking the plunge into FreeBSD, and have accidentally mangled
/etc/rc.local and /etc/ttys.  I was trying to get it to run xdm on startup, and
accidentally mistyped the commands in /etc/rc.local, so it wouldn't boot, so
I had to use the fixit floppy, and well it gets worse from there.
If some kind soul could mail me a copy of these files (or tell me how to
resurrect them) I could at least get it to boot to console, and get a handle
on the situation.

Thanks in advance.
