Hello, world.

I am sure there is a simple answer to this, but I just can't seem to
find it documented anywhere.

My root / filesystem on my FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE system was corrupted, and
booting was impossible.  I of course turned to my trusty FreeBSD boot
floppies to run Fixit!.  I re-fdisk'ed, used disklabel to assign the
mountpoints for swap and /, and (P)roceeded.  That all went great, and I
was able to fsck my / partition to fix all the problems.

HOWEVER, now when I reboot it keeps taking my into sysinstall!  I can't
make init launch rc instead of sysinstall.  What do I need to change to
make init launch rc instead of sysinstall after running Fixit?
