After recent recently trying to install the cam patches,
I seemed to have been left with a system that simply
would not boot.  It would get to the place where it mounts
root, and then ti would hang.  I have tried new kernels,
cam kernels, recent kernels, old generic kernels, all without
luck.  Anyways, I finally just went to reinstall(upgrade) to
fix the problems.

Unfortunately, somehow, the install disk seems to have toasted
the disklabels on both of my disks with very little effort. :(
It did leave the bios partitions intact though.

Can anyone please tell me how to go about recovering?  Will I
need to manually grovel the disk for this information?  I also
have ccds that contain my home dir, so I would like these back
as well. I unfortunately do not have real recent backups, or
a way of making them.

Thanks,
Chris Csanady
