Subject:   [Q] recovering 1.1.5.1 disk

i installed 2.1.0-RELEASE using the boot floppy to install to sd1
(imprimis drive).  1.1.5.1 was on sd0 (seagate drive).  after the install,
i tried to boot to sd0 (the 1.1.5.1 disk).  'no bootable partition'.  the
FreeBSD partition is gone.  it was the only partition on the disk. 

i was able to recreate the disk partition using 'fdisk -iu'.   but the 
disklabel is not found:

keystone: [3] disklabel sd1
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument

how do i recover the disk without resorting to a full install and restore 
from tape??

here is the dmesg from the 2.1.0-RELEASE system (i switched the disks, 
imprimis is now sd0)
