Can anyone suggest a way/hack to recover the damn disk? Its a desperete situation :-(), so even desperate suggestion will be appreciated. (i.e., is it possible to hack a 'label' or an 'id' or something back into the disk. when a dd from the raw device, i do see something that looks like the root directory of the disk, so its not as if everything was lost -uname- (If it makes any difference) FreeBSD loki 3.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE #0: Tue Jun 1 18:59:38 GMT 1999 root@loki:/usr/src/sys/compile/LOKI i386 TIA Kiril To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
