My freebsd ran out of disk space in /. Unfortunately I rebooted the
system and now I can't get in - no username or password are accepted.
If I boot in a single user mode, the file system is mounted as a read
only and I can't do anything with the passwd file.
Is there any way to get in and repair the damage?
