stuck on config.xml

[benardmens]

Nas4Free installation stuck on loading configuration files , I dont have a backup of the config file so im really hoping not to have to do a reinstall because theres a lot of data to be lost.

Ive got a zfs pool and a separate hd for the os. I can boot to loader prompt and I can see the files there, I suspect there's an invalid character in the config.xml which is stopping it from loading, is it possible to edit the config.xml or back it up to a usb stick from the loader prompt or restore one of the older backups ?

If u can Download the xml file to ur (Windows Pc ?) , or if u have a current copy u can edit it.
Word is possible or try Notepad++

If worse comes to worse u can reinstall ur N4F system and import the zfs-pool usually without a problem or loosing data.
But try to download one of the older config-copies first before u configure ur system from the scratch after a reinstall.

thanks for the quick response, can you kindly show me how do to copy the xml file, its not booting to the shell currently, its just stuck at loading configuration files. How would I also re-import the zfs pool?

Thanks , im a bit of a noob at this stuff
