I have a backup computer, and mistakenly moved /bin.  How can I recover it from, say the BSD cd set?

I'm trying to use the live filesystem CD to mount the disk drive, but I'm not having any luck:

$ mount /dev/wd0s1 /mnt 
mount: /dev/wd0s1 on /mnt: incorrect super block

$ mount /dev/wd0s1e /mnt
mount: /dev/wd0s1e on /mnt: incorrect super block


The drive is already partitioned for /dev/wd0s1a, /dev/wd0s1e, /dev/wd0s1f, etc . . . 

wd0s1a wd0s1e, etc . . .exists in the /dev subdirectory as well.

Thanks

Richard
