This is the best solution I can recomend.
Provided you have not nuked the drive, you should be
able to extract config files, html files, and other
text data.

# dd if=/dev/ad0s1a /of=copy_of_ad0s1a -bs 512

# strings copy_of_ad0s1a > text_from_ad0s1a

after that, open in a text editor or parse through.
Goodluck

Robert
