I need to reinstall the FreeBSD bootmanager on one of my systems and

Its easy. Just run boot0cfg with the right options :-)
# boot0cfg -B -v /dev/ad0
Depending on the disk and the bootable partitions you might also want
"-o packet"
packet Use the disk packet (BIOS INT 0x13 extensions)
interface,
as opposed to the legacy (CHS) interface, when
doing disk
I/O. This allows booting above cylinder 1023, but
requires specific BIOS support. The default is
`nopacket'.
I believe sysinstall may do this (whether always, or just under specific
conditions, I cannot say, but when I used boot0cfg without -o packet, I
couldn't boot partitions which I could boot after a sysinstall).
You can also use sysinstall (as you suggested). I posted instructions a
few weeks back so a search should turn them up, if you need them.
