If you can get to a single user prompt, edit /etc/fstab using everyone's
favourite editor, ed. (This might fix it anyway, though you could have
been clearer about what exact messages you got.) Just do
# ed /etc/fstab
%s/wd0s3/wd0s4/g
wq
#
making a backup of fstab before you do that might be a good idea, though
it isn't the hardest file to recreate if you screw up. You may also have
to change your dumpdev setting in /etc/rc.conf if you have set it.
