So... I lost my partition table.  I'm willing to spend a little time
on this.  Is there a byte sequence that I might recognise in a
superblock or at the start of a partition?  I know this isn't an easy
task, but man 5 fs leads me to believe that I might find:

     #define FS_MAGIC        0x011954   /* the fast filesystem magic number */
     #define FS_OKAY         0x7c269d38 /* superblock checksum */

... but I don't see those bytes.  Any hints?

I'm willing to post a description of a solution for the FAQ if I can
find the filesystems.

Dave.
