If you used the default parameters when creating the filesystem then "newfs -N /dev/ad0s1a" should tell you where the alternate superblocks are and you may be able to use one of them with fsck_ffs's -b option. Don't forget the -N to newfs whatever you do though. If you're uncomfortable using that, then just try block 32 or 160. Ceri -- That must be wonderful! I don't understand it at all. -- Moliere
