The partition table seams o.k. but the disklabel is lost. I move the
disk to another FreeBSD system and have been able to mount its root
partition with

mount /dev/ad2s1a /mnt/ad2s1a

The fstab file in the /etc directory of the damage disk is:

# Device         Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/ad0s1        none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/ad0s1a       /               ufs     rw              1       1
/dev/ad0s1e       /usr            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/acd0c        /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
proc              /proc           procfs  rw              0       0

From the mbox at the /root directory of the damage disk a got the
following:

Disk status:
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a     49583    28226    17391    62%    /
/dev/ad0s1e   5842520  4071545  1303574    76%    /usr
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc

From this I know there are only three partitions (root, /usr and swap)
and the size of the UFS partitions. But to rebuild the disklabel still I
don't know the size of the swap partition and thus can't figure out
where does the /usr partition starts.

Can anyone help me with this? Does anyone knows if gpart can be use to
figure out the disklabel and how? (So far with gpart I have only been
able to print the slicetable, not the disklabel.)
