I'm so ashamd for sending the answer right after the question: So i found T(Toggle Newfs) option in sysinstall's label editor, and made that one partition i had in it. Then the label editor used fsck_ffs to recover it. I JUST LOVE FREEBSD!! Just when i thought all my data was lost! Well, atleast someone having the same problem might find my posts..
