Try rebooting into a freesbie livecd if you have that, if not you can use the freebsd install cd rescue mode, and mount the root partition (on a one-disk, one-slice ide system, this is /dev/ad0s1a) somewhere. Then you change the loader.conf again, removing the kldload snd_driver statement. Istead, check here what to enter: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...und-setup.html

Maybe you can try something like this:

snd_driver_load="YES"

i got the freesbie ...
i executed some scripts to mount the FS in Read / Write mode ... but there was some kind of error "invalid fdisk partitiion ... "

so now i will try the second solution ...

[barakat86]

well nothing works ...
evrytime i mount ... it tells me " permission denied .."

i dont beleieve i will reinstall

How did you mount it? Did you umount it first in that case?

[barakat86]

yeah ... everything failed .. due to errors in the partition table

Boot into single-user mode. You can do this by pressing 4 when you are given the boot options. Press enter when asked which shell to use. This will give you sh, the default. Then fsck your partitions with

# fsck -p

Then mount your root partition with

# mount -u /

Though it's not necessary, you might want to mount all other UFS2 partitions with

# mount -a -t ufs

Turn on swapping (not necessary either, but you might as well) with

# swapon -a

Now, you must edit /boot/loader.conf. Put this in:

snd_driver_load="YES"

Now reboot and all should be fixed.
