Hi,

I have a Pentium (2 SCSI disks) with newly installed FreeBSD (2.2.1):

Something happened to the boot device /dec/sd0 making it "unbootable".
# fsck /dev/sd0
** /dev/rsd0
BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
/dev/rsd0: NOT LABELED AS A BSD FILE SYSTEM (unused)

I used /stand/sysinstall to label it and when I tried to mount it (> not
clean, run fsck "manually").

Tried also: fsck -n -b 32 /dev/sd0s1a
Alternate super block location: 32
** /dev/rsd0s1a (NO WRITE)
** Last Mounted on
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
1 files, 1 used, 31774 free (14 frags, 3970 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation)

But whean I try to mount any partition > incorrect super block

I just want to retrieve information from the /usr partition and reinstall
everything so
even "hash" ways are most welcomed!

Best regards,
