For others that may be following along, you may have to use the -f option if you have journaling turned on as it won't otherwise do the check.

>mount -uw /
>mv /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb.bad

The next line needed a space following the rm for it to work:

>rm/var/db/.AppleSetupDone
>reboot
>
>Do that and start over.

Otherwise, it worked as needed. Thanks to all.
