Greetings,

	During upgrade from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6, I made a dum mistake
in doing sync/sync/reboot after I merged my old /etc/ files into the 
upgraded /etc directory instead of doing an exit. 

	The disk partitions got yanked and the disk can not be booted
anymore because of invalid partition. 

	Using the "fixit" floppy, "disklabel -r wd0" indicates that
the label is invalid. There is no vi in the "fixit" floppy. 


	What will be my best shot in recovering the disklabel (slices/
partitions etc) ? Or anything from the disk.

	Thank you for your help.

	Francis
