Scan_ffs can print the lost disklabel for use with disklabel(8).
Find-sb, that version from cvs, seems only to print info about
the superblocks of each file system and you have to rebuild the
lost disklabel for your self. I was on the search for a simple
tool for everybody, and found scan_ffs several months ago
in the OpenBSD distribution (so it seems find-sb was like
reinventing the wheel) and Robert Watson suggested in a posting
december last year to adopt scan_ffs for UFS2. IMHO we should
reuse a already written program with existing man pages, so
we have the same sounding tools for the same tasks.

I don't know what find-sb could do with your patches applied.
If it's superior to scan_ffs, we can forget scan_ffs.
