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.
