You can always boot from the FreeBSD installation CDROM and interrupt
the loader at the `spinner' by pressing space. You should see
something like:
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
At the boot: prompt enter:
0:ad(0,a)/kernel
and the CDROM loader will boot from your disk. Then, you can
reinstall the FreeBSD boot manager on /dev/ad0 with:
# boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0
