Hello,

I have run into a similar situation, I suggest the following instead of=20
re-installing:
Run Alpine from a USB stick, mount the partition from there and edit the=20
file. It also works with encrypted partitions or even ZFS or even an=20
encrypted ZFS partition as in my case, though it was admittedly a bit=20
more of a pain since you have to install some prerequisites on the live=20
USB and go through the unlock process for encrypted partitions.

Hope that helps!

Best,
Edin
