Hi, This one is gonna sound funny. I once had a mistype in /etc/fstab myself. I solved it by pulling the hard drive off the box, mounting it on another one and then I modified the file. I guess you could do the same if you have a spare FreeBSD box lying around. But there must be a better way doing it though.
