Grmp... 3rd try to get this message written (2 * signal 6 for X11)...

At http://www.leidinger.net/FreeBSD/ffsrescue.tar.gz I have something
similiar. I wrote it on 3-current, it works on 4-stable, but doesn't
compile on 5-current (after some changes from phk to some includes).

It prints a lot more of useful information about superblocks and
disklabels. It's also able to suggest MBR values for FFS partitions if
your MBR gets overwritten.

If there's interest in it I port it to -current.

Bye,
Alexander.
