Well that didn't work but I finally fixed it.
from the moutroot I was able to go into single user mode by
running
these commands:
ufs:/dev/ad0s2a
fsck -p /
mount /
after this I was able to check and fix my /etc/fstab file,
for some
reason the mount points got all changed to slice 4, e.g.
ad0s4a, changed
them back to ad0s2a and so on, after that I was able to boot
just fine.
How it happened I have no idea.
