Thomas, thank you great info (didn't know for GPT). However, I successfully restored my slices. I post this method here for someone with similar problem in the future: * deleted first 2k of data from ad4 using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad4 count=2 * created fdisk configuration file with three slices; I determined the size by simply calculating the sum of slice sizes as reported by scan_ffs; * then /dev/ad4s1-3 appeared; * then used scan_ffs on each new slice and used these results to create three new bsdlabels; * used gpart info to activate swap partitions in bsdlabel file; * write you this mail from restored system. Thank you for all the info. SergiM
