OK, now still on FreeBSD 10 Live, edit the file /etc/fstab on your hard disk to correspond to the correct device numbers.

1. Mount the root slice / to the mountpoint /mnt
mount /dev/ad4s1a /mnt

2. Edit the fstab file using the easy editor ee(1), replacing all occasions of ad12 with ad4
ee /mnt/etc/fstab

3. Leave the editor by typing <ctrl>-<[> and save the changes.

4. Shutdown the computer, remove the CD, and restart.

Trying step 1 and I get this error:

Code: 
mount: /dev/ad4s1a: R/W mount of / denied. File system is not clean.

Start again with the FreeBSD 10 CD, then run the file system check on the ufs volumes:

# fsck_ufs -fy /dev/ad4s1a
# fsck_ufs -fy /dev/ad4s1d
# fsck_ufs -fy /dev/ad4s1e
# fsck_ufs -fy /dev/ad4s1f

Then restart.
 
Thank you so much, my computer now boots, YOU'RE AWESOME!! Do you know if I need to change anything for internet to work after all this mess? Because it isn't connecting to the internet. I used sysinstall to configure the network but it didn't connect and modem isn't seeing the device. Just making me wonder if I should get a network card and not use the one built in the motherboard.
