Solved stuck in the loop

N

I made some config changes to the /boot/loader.conf file and now my FreeBSD is suck in the reboot loop.

the last set of messages I see on the screen are
ZFS filesystem version:5
ZFS storage pool version: features support (5000)
Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec
em0: link state change to UP
random: unblocking device.

What are my options to undo the changes or simply delete the current loader.conf

Thank you
 
Press 3 or Esc in the boot menu: escape to loader prompt.

Then type:
Code: 
# unload
# load kernel
# boot
Then fix /boot/loader.conf and reboot.
 
After I type load kernel I get
Code: 
"can't find kernel"
"can't find kernel"
OK

The boot process starts after I type boot and the system reboots towards the end of the boot process anyway.
 
Now I am at the mountroot> prompt with the message at the top of the screen
Code: 
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
Trying to mount root from zfs:zroot []...
Mounting from zfs:zroot failed with error 2: unknown file system.

is it where I was supposed to get landed?
 
That's the problem, I am not sure which line is causing the reboot, so I think the easiest thing for me is to rename the loader.conf or delete it.

Please don't do that!

Don't you remember what changes did you do in loader.conf?
