I spent days building the system, I don't want to do the whole thing again. I must have forgot a quote in my rc.conf file and now when the system got rebooted it's asking for pathaname for the shell. I am not sure of the next step. Help!!

Well, while we're waiting for an expert to reply, try hitting enter when
it prompts for the pathname for a shell. You'll get the sh shell. Next
type:

mount -a

Then 

vi /etc/rc.conf

and fix the typo.
