How to activate FreeBSD again?

Hi.

I have installed Windows Vista to the machine which formely worked with
FreeBSD. However, after Windows have been completely installed, the boot
menu like below does not appear.
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Disk 1
Click to expand...
I did not touch the FreeBSD slices / partitions but installed Windows into free disk space.

How to activate FreeBSD again and how to get selectable which OS to boot ?
 
I think you should boot your computer with the FreeBSD CD1, enter into rescue modeand run fdisk -B ad0.
The FreeSBIE Live CD would be of great help.
 
It should also work if you boot to XP, open the diskmanagement and set the Freebsd partition active.
