First, copy the entire drive to a file on another drive. Don't mess around with the original drive. The vnode disk driver is your friend. I can't find the quick-and-dirty tool I hacked up a few years back when I needed to recover a MBR... however one can scan a sector at a time, find likely partitions, then manually create a disklabel. (You see why you want to play with an image mounted via vnode!)
