kernel failed 2 boot

[molj]

my kernel failed 2 compile, i tried to boot with the kernel.old but i 
couldn't do it like it says in the troubleshoot 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig- 
trouble.html#KERNELCONFIG-NOBOOT
i try to do that when it shows me the counter from 10 backwards and the 
freebsd logo on the right(the devil), i can't even type unload, all i can 
do is to select 1-7
sorry for this lame questions but i'm a newbie to this
tnx
