The MBR was overwritten with some other boot loader. I set the pointer in the MBR to the BSD label and was able to mount the disk. Irony is now that I still got the integrity check failed error message but all partitions have been mountable and the file system could be read. I did not run an fsck on the file systems. As the files in question all have been plain ASCII files, it was very easy to check if they got damaged. Your hint where to find the documentation of the BSD label was the key. Thanks! Erich
