Boot single user if possible, tho it's probably not.
Failing that; boot from the install media. Mount the root slice
of your failing system. cd to its /boot folder
rm ./loader
ln loader_4th loader
cd /
unmount the system
remove the install media you just booted from, and reboot.
It should (hopefully) work now.
