[...] Ouch, you are in a pickle. :-( I have a feeling that SysCommander saw the disklabel on the second disk as some MBR junk and partition table-ized it. So now you have a pretty partition table there but a munched disklabel. If you knew the exact values of the disklabel you might be able to reconstitute it. Otherwise you'd better test your backup.
