Yes. Use newfs -N which will print out the superblock locations. My
experience also tells me to also put exactly the same parameters on the newfs
line that you used when you originally created the volume.
From the newfs(8) manpage:
-N Cause the file system parameters to be printed out without really
creating the file system.
