try to log in as root locally, I needed to press ``ctrl-alt-f7`` to get to a log in prompt.
Once logged in as root, I used the ``beadm`` command.
Try ``beadm list`` and activate ``beadm activate <old-version>``.
Finally reboot.
I followed this process and then got my FreeNAS server to boot again.
From the GUI I was able to create myself a config backup.
I then burned a new FreeNAS CD and used that to install a fresh new install on my USB drive and then once that booted I used the GUI to restore my config.
