    Bring up all the file systems manually, and you should be set to edit
    any file with TERM=cons25. This should be something like:

    1. Start in single-user mode. When you enter the root shell of the
    single user mode, there's only one filesystem (the root filesystem) and
    this one is mounted read-only.

    2. If your system clock is set to local time (and not UTC), run
    adjkerntz.

            # adjkerntz -i

    3. Do minimal sanity checks for all file systems:

            # fsck -p

    4. Remount the root file system as read-write:

            # mount -u /

    5. Mount all the rest, and then set your TERM to cons25 (TERM should be
    set IIRC only after termcap is available):

            # mount -va
            # TERM=cons25 ; export TERM

    6. Edit your /etc/rc.local with any editor you prefer.

    7. Exit the single user shell and let the system go on booting in
    multi-user mode, as usual.
