Can't change runlevel in FreeBSD 5

Hello,
I installed freebsd 5 but I can't go to multiuser mode. In my system I installed linux previously and I edited freebsd's fstab adding linux partitions so I can access linux file system from bsd but something has gone wrong and now whenever I try to change runlevel like #init 3 ; it prompts invalid runlevel. Also I can't edit /etc/fstab with vi because it says unknow command even I can't cd to directory level 2 like i can cd to /usr but I can't cd to any directory under /user such as /usr/local.. Please help me. Thanks..
