Just an idea. This occurred to me once that the superblock and primary
alternate were corrupted. Hence i was in the same unfortunate situation
as you, fsck was not working. The situation was solved by running
newfs with the -N flag on the slice. This printed the location of 
other copies of the superblock. Feeding that to fsck allowed to recover
the filesystem, without losing anything.
