About a week ago I had some memory go bad causing my box to reboot
about 15 times in a two hour period.  Since, I have replaced the memory,
but when attempting to boot, I get the old "please run fsck manually".

No Problem, the root file system was cleaned up with no problems.  But
when fsck attempted to correct /var and /usr, no luck.  fsck returns a=20
"incorrect super block, bad magic number" error.

The only documentation I've been ible to find was on docs.freebsd.org, =
stating
that 'fsck -b 32 /filesystem' should do the trick when this error =
occurs.

But this returns

>fsck -b 32 /dev/ad1s2
Alternate super block location: 32
** /dev/ad1s2

CANNOT READ: BLK 32
CONTINUE? [yn]

If I continue, I get=20

THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 32, 33, 34 (up to 47)


Any Ideas what I might be able to do to salvage the data from these =
partitions?
FreeBSD 4.3 R by the way
