SUMMARY: /kernel/drv/options.config problem

In mid-December, I incorrectly modified the file
/kernel/drv/options.config by attempting to comment out a line and I
could not reboot the computer. I asked if someone could help me edit
the file from single user or miniroot. Thanks to all who replied, the
solution was suggested by many people and I am grateful for all the
help. While a few variations were suggested, here is the way I fixed
it:

boot sd(0,6,2) -sw
TERM=sun
export TERM
mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /a
cd /a/kernel/drv
vi options.config
umount /a
reboot

Thanks again for your help.
