    If the partitions are still there and you're only missing the disklabel,
    ports/sysutils/gpart should be able to reconstruct the disklabel. There
    are dozens of bootable Linux-based rescue CD that include the gpart tool
    in case your FreeBSD isn't functional enough to install gpart onto. Hit
    Google.
