The error 95 is a pretty generic SMF_EXIT_FATAL (or somesuch).
Probably the filesystem/local service has failed to initialize -
see "svcs -xv" if you've managed to log in, and inspect the
failed service's log file. Furthermore, I'd guess that the fault
is with an error with "zfs mount -a" which can fail i.e. due to
non-empty mountpoints. You can run this command on your single-user
console and see which datasets it can't mount and why (i.e. some
empty directories remain for mounting further datasets of your
exported pool - you can remove these after making sure that there
is in fact no dataset mounted over these at the moment).

When you ensure that "zfs mount -a" succeeds, you can use
   svcadm clear filesystem/local
(or whatever service failed) and exit the single-user shell
so the system proceeds to multi-user milestone as normal.
