how to get out of lucreate error

I'm trying to go from Solaris Express build 41 to build 54.

I made an error in my original lucreate command, indicating an -x /export
This failed.
Now I can't delete this failed BE nor can I add a new one because it still thinks the bogus BE has claim on the first
disk.

Current boot disk is c0d0s0

cat M_file
/:/dev/dsk/c0d1s0:ufs
-:/dev/dsk/c0d1s1:swap
/export/home:/dev/dsk/c0d1s7:ufs
