The only reason to need an editor and not have /usr and /var available is to
edit /etc/fstab. It is trivial to spot errors with /rescue/cat and fix with
/rescue/sed, without having to worry about a terminal.
In all other cases:
fsck -p
/etc/rc.d/mountcritlocal start
/etc/rc.d/ldconfig start
And one can use any editor one would want. Don't forget to export or setenv
TERM to cons25 from 'dumb'.
