If your system still can boot, you can do # /stand/sysinstall --> configure --> Distributions and select the things you need. In case you remember config-files you have edited, try to save them from beeing overwritten by changing their names with mv . You can rename them afterwards. For the future: There are quite simple tools to backup and restore the contents of your partitions: dump and restore.
