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.
