I guess it depends on what you mean by 'userland'. Did it take any of the OS with it or do you still have a bootable disk? If you can still boot, you should be able to prepare the new disk as normal (disklabel/newfs) and edit /etc/fstab to mount it up. Then pull out the restore tapes and enjoy ....
