Can't boot because of it ..

I'm running a raid0, with vinum, and read the errata about adding geom_vinum_load="YES" to loader.conf because vinim_start="YES" in rc.conf paniced my system when booting. I'm running 5.3-RELEASE and the errata mentioned that one too. So I added gvinum to loader.conf and now I can't boot. All I get is a lot of scrolling text that says something about gvinum error, can't remember the exact message but it can't boot anyway. Tried single mode to delete this line but can't boot into single mode either. Tried disable-module geom_vinum in the loader but that didn't help either. It loaded the module anyway. So I'm really desperate here .. is there any way to tell my system to completly ignore loader.conf when booting so that I at least can access the system and edit loader.conf? Please CC to me if you reply. -- Daniel Johansson -
