I have just installed FreeBSD in the last few days and I also put the distributed.net client on my system. I set the client to load on startup in /etc/rc, but now whenever the system loads, it loads the dnet client, then stops, and will not continue booting.

How can I boot into a prompt or an editor and edit out the line which tells the client to load?

I've tried using the boot disks on the FreeBSD CD-ROM, but I just get the boot: prompt which is not very useful.

At the boot prompt type in boot -s to enter single user mode.

Sorry for such a late reply, but you might want to use /etc/rc.local instead. In that file (if it doesnt exist, create it), put in there /path/to/dnet/client -options
Then on boot up it should load it. I not sure though, i have never tried this myself.
