[GoFlex Home] bad entry in /etc/rc.conf now will not boot

[strato]

Hello,
I successfully completed a fresh install of Arch Linux ARM to my brand new device and while completing I wanted to automate a startup task and obviously mistakenly entered a invalid line into the bottom of my /etc/rc.conf and now the device is inaccessible by ssh and appears not to be fully booting, likely hanging on the bad entry.

Without the drive seated, the led just blinks rapidly, I guess signalling not able to boot. With the drive seated, the device led blinks rapidly, then after a moment or so turns solid. it appears to boot something and I am assuming it is the u-boot rescue. I have looked and attempted a few things I have found about accessing the rescue from this other sites with minimal success.

Following the instructions form another post I installed wireshark to find the address of the device once it booted. I can see udp traffic from the device at 10.10.10.6 -> 10.10.10.4 from port 6665 -> 6666 and have tried things form other post to "netconsole" to the device but cant get it to work.

A) I guess my question is there any way to access the /etc/rc.conf offine?

B) can the device be reset? though does not seem to boot at all with out the 1TB original drive installed (guees this is where the rescue may be)?

This is the [sabnzbd] project http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=741&start=70#p20491 I was working from before I completely derailed

ideas, comments greatly appreciated,

thanks

Can you not boot a live Linux cd, mount and edit the file?
