because
The filer does not have a local text editor.
Problems with interface configuration can make the filer inaccessible to clients
from which the
/etc/rc
file can be edited.

If configuration errors prevent the filer from booting from the hard disk, try booting
from the diskette. For more information, see the section, Booting from System Boot

If your filer becomes inaccessible from the administration host after you change the
/etc/rc
file, perform the following steps to recover from the error:

address.
2. Enter the

tion host.
3. Edit the filer
/etc/rc
file from the administration host.
