If a valid fstab-entry for the rootfilesystem is missing, the system asks you 
to enter the filesystem-type and the device where the rootfilesystem resides. 
You just need to enter a string like "ufs:ar0s1a". 

If some more fstab-entries fail to mount your filesystems during system 
startup, you will end up automatically at a shell prompt. From there you can 
mount your filesystems by using the 'mount' command and edit your fstab.  

It's maybe good to be familiar with 'man 8 boot', just in case.           

Cheers,
ch
