Hi,


The quick story: after a change of the MB from a GA-7VT600 1393 
to a GA-7VT600-L, both with VIA Apollo KT600 / 8237 cipset, my 
system's preen fsck can't find the superblock on partitions other that 
/ As far as I can say the fs where clean (note however that / was 
mounted read-only AFAIR).

I've googled around half a day and the hole night with no luck. The 
system was first on a KT400/8235 mobo and i've moved it with no 
real problem. What is different now ? It has been installed with the 
defaults newfs options.

Questions:
1. "in-core disklabel" means what is read from the disk ?
2. The sizes are OK, the root slice is OK and I can use it, the first 
FAT32 XP partition is OK and I can boot XP, what makes the diference 
between / and the others ?
3. If the slightly different BIOS is to blame, how to make the newfs 
when installing so that I will not have this problem again in the 
future ?
4. Besides McKusick's paper from 44doc what other sources of 
information on ufs are there ?
5. And, of course :-/ ,  how to get my data back ?


I can provide a dumpfs and/or ffsinfo, if someone cares to see them 
(btw, they still are in 5.1 ? as in the on-line man pages thy are not)


#fsck -p

A fsck -t ufs ad0s2d gives:
** /dev/ad0s2d
Cannot find file system superblock
/dev/ad0s2d: INCOMPLETE LABEL: type 4.2BSD fsize 0, frag 0, cpg 0, 
size 1048576

and fsck_ffs -b 32 isn't of much help either.



******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:

The BIOS -> LBA reads 14593/255/63 and in dmesg, next to ad0 it is 
232578/16/63.
If I'm booting with the live CD I get:
Offset             Size(ST)             End
       0.................63...............1
      63...........61432497........61432559     ad0s1

and the geometry 14593/255/63
