I had a corrupted file system (/dev/rwd1s2e) that I was attempting to rebuild. My disk setup was on a 1G disk, I had 2 partitions. The first held /, swap and /usr while the second held user file systems. The second partition was ~640 Mb. I tried to use newfs on /dev/rwd1s2e. Things looked okay so I rebooted (clearly a mistake). Now BSD won't come up. I have booted from the install floppy so that I could look at the partitions, and it can't find any. I have a backup of the users, but I can't find my backups of the root (/) and /usr file systems (as they were on a different system and seem to have been deleted). Is there *any* way to get my system back with out re-installing. (It will be a pain to re-do the custom X stuff for my monitor).
