Solved [SOLVED] Kernel panic!

Hi. Today I had the brilliant idea to change from sc to vt new console.
So I add this line on/boot/loader.conf
Code: 
kern.vty=vt
Rebooted and I got kernel panic because vesa failed to register!
The problem is that now I cannot boot nowhere to remove the line. Anywhere tries to boot newscon, always give me panic, panic, panic!
I thought to go to loader and give using echo a # before
Code: 
kern.vty=vt
but I don't know how to do it.
Any idea? Of course I don't want to reinstall the whole FreeBSD for just one line! I just want to remove it.
PS. I have no installation cd to mount the FS to change the line so I must do it from startup menu.
 
Yes, definitely report the problem with enough details. 10.1-RELEASE is very close and this types of problems with the new vt(4) console would be very nice to be fixed before the final release.
 
Yes. I have Nvidia Graphics Card
My uname -a
Code: 
FreeBSD Unix 10.1-BETA3 FreeBSD 10.1-BETA3 #0 r272167: Fri Sep 26 11:11:24 UTC 2014     root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
This was the problem.
On my /boot/loader.conf I had this config
Code: 
vesa_load="YES"
splash_pcx_load="YES"
bitmap_load="YES"
bitmap_name="/boot/beastie.pcx"

On my /etc/rc.conf I had this config
Code: 
allscreens_flags="MODE_277"

I always had this error during boot:
Code: 
module vesa failed to register 17

The vt panic was because of vesa.
When I removed all the above lines including
Code: 
vesa_load="YES"
from /boot/loader.conf
and add again
Code: 
kern.vty=vt
vt worked perfect!

Well I don't know if is a bug or just wrong configuration.
