Subject: help! help me recovering a disk
Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk


I should have been warned - the 2.1.0R install menu stroke a second time.
It happened already once to me. At that time I was able to recover
the disk by seeking the whole disk for a disk label and
doing dd and vnconfig allowed me to mount the single partitions.

Now there is no more label (only 0s and one whole slice) - that's what I
wanted for disk 1(!).

When I seek the disk for FS magic (which one btw?) would that be the
the suitable location for the start block for a subsequent dd and vnconfig?
