Get to that shell when the system asks you, rename /etc/rc.conf to something else and exit the shell. The system will start using the settings from /etc/defaults/rc.conf and those are basically sane (unless you have played with them too ;) After the system starts, you can just fix your /etc/rc.conf and reboot to have the new configuration take effect.
