First, copy the entire drive to a file on another drive.  Don't mess 
around with the original drive.  The vnode disk driver is your friend.

I can't find the quick-and-dirty tool I hacked up a few years back when 
I needed to recover a MBR... however one can scan a sector at a time, 
find likely partitions, then manually create a disklabel.  (You see why 
you want to play with an image mounted via vnode!)
