I'm running FreeBSD 6 stable and I lost my boot menu after reinstalling

do I have to reinstall freebsd?
It may be that you got the slices no longer marked as bootable.
Try using fdisk(8) or boot0cfg(8) to re-enable booting on those slices.

Do you run it from the instalation CD using fixit or run from the mountroot
prompt on the computer. It seems to me I can't can any commands from this
prompt.
I would do it from the fixit.
Well that didn't work but I finally fixed it.
from the moutroot I was able to go into single user mode by running
these commands:
ufs:/dev/ad0s2a
fsck -p /
mount /
after this I was able to check and fix my /etc/fstab file, for some
reason the mount points got all changed to slice 4, e.g. ad0s4a, changed
them back to ad0s2a and so on, after that I was able to boot just fine.
How it happened I have no idea.
