I need urgent help!

I installed FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on my Pentium PC. I installed bootmanager
and used both DOS 6.2 and FreeBSD 1.1.5.1.
Somehow I have changed master boot record and can't recover
FreeBSD partition.

When I boot up with install disk, it recognizes the FreeBSD partition,
but is unable to find any disklabel information. ( no disklabel found )
Is there any way to recover the FreeBSD partition?
I am pretty sure the data is not overwritten, so I need to recover only
the disklabel.  But unfortunately, I don't remember the label information.

Thanks in advance.
