    I have a Redhat 9 system that I have totally screwed up inittab and
    runlevel to where it will not boot correctly now. I was trying to change
    it from default initlevel 5 to 3. Not sure if I didn't give it enough
    time or what, but now it's hosed.

    When it boots I get:
    INIT: /etc/inittab[8]: missing action field
    (same line repeats with 19,22,30,33,39,42,43, and 51)
    Cannot execute /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

    I booted into rescue mode but didn't know what to even do.

    Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    James
