looks like you wanted a & on the end of that command ...
(you might try just booting and hitting ctrl-C to terminate rc5 so it
could continue with the boot sequence)
if not, then when you get to the LILO prompt (if you're using lilo) then
type something like:
linux single
(replace linux with your boot option if needs be). this will place you in
single user mode. edit the file, press ^D and you should be fine.
