That is expected, because the partition table should be outside
the partitions...

Ok...

Then I would copy the damaged slice to another filesystem.
e. g.:
# dd if=/dev/ad2s1 of=/root/shoot.img

Then I would do a fsck
e. g.:
# fsck /dev/ad2s1a

The fsck should make the file system usable again.
BUT: FSCK IS QUITE RUDE POSSIBLY... Some filenames might be lost,
so that there will be some files in /lost+found (as far as I
understood that procedure).
