I am writing this mailing list in a desperate attempt to find out how to
restore my hdd with out loosing all the data on it.  Recently I added two
additional hard drives to my freebsd 4.2 system.  Once I booted up my system
and dl'ed some things with wget a bunch of errors occurred resulting in
"kernel panic" and then system halt.  When I rebooted I get and error and
cannot boot freebsd

error:

BTX halted

to try to fix this problem I installed a minimal install of fbsd on another
hdd and ran
fsck /dev/ad1a which said this:
** /dev/ad1a
BAD SUPER BLOCK: VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN FIRST
ALTERNATE
/dev/ad1a: INCOMPLETE LABEL: type 4.2BSD fsize 0, frag 0, cpg 0, size
9809920


Although it doesn't really help I can still df -h it;
df /dev/ad1a prints:
Filesystem	Size	Used	Avail	Capacity	Mounted on
/dev/ad1a	4.5G	1.5G	2.7G	36%

fdisk /dev/ad1a prints:
*****Working on device /dev/ad1a *********
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=621 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calclations are:
cylinders=621 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
	start 0, size 50000 (24 meg), flag 80 (active)
		beg: cyl 0/ head 0/ sector 1;
		end:cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63


Is the data on my hdd completely unrecoverable? Is there anyway I could
mount the partion?

mount /dev/ad1a /blah (/blah is a directory) prints this:

mount: /dev/ad1a on /blah: incorrect super block
