Boot from a FreeBSD USB stick or a CD-ROM that contains a live-CD image. (e.g. FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso or FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img) Once you get to the main menu of the installer, choose the =E2=80=9CLive CD= =E2=80=9D option. Mount the partition where /boot resides. Then you can edit the file.
