Put the install cdrom in, reboot, at the boot loader prompt that shows a
rotating character, alternating between -, \, |, and /, press SPACE.
You'll see a prompt like this:

	>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
	Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
	boot:

At the boot: prompt you can type:

	0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader

and boot into FreeBSD, without reinstalling...
