Hello developers,

After booting with Minix 3 CD to the shell prompt (#), what commad
line will a use to delete a file in my hard disk installed with Minix
3? This file that needs to be deleted was put in /boot directory of
the hard disk during ny experimentation, and now the file prevents me
from booting with my hard disk, generating the error message: "Can't
load boot image: Not a drectory. I was stopped at d0p0s0> and couldn't
proceed forward.

Mount the root filesystem on /mnt (mount /dev/c0d0p0s0 /mnt).

Alternative, you can set the image variable in the boot monitor to point
to a file instead of a directory.
