 I can't enter single user mode either for same reason.

What about using /bin/csh for single user mode?

Also, when all else fails try booting from a FreeBSD CD.  Altneratively
it may be possible to boot the normal kernel and use a FreeBSD CD as root
by typing 'boot /kernel -C' (or -c, I forget which).

It's -C

Note however that -C is presently broken in 3.x - needs the changes at
