At a guess, you tried to run something like:
mount /dev/sdXX/cache
which will try to negotiate a version with your raw disk data,
and write a Tversion message to the first block of your disk.
You want to mount the 9p service which lives in /srv/cwfs.
You can probably either write it back manually, or using the
fs recovery console, documented (er, kinda) in fsconfig(8).
For reference, the fsconfig should look like:
filsys main c(/dev/sdN0/fscache)(/dev/sdN0/fsworm)
filsys dump o
filsys other (/dev/sdN0/other)
noauth
newcache
blocksize 16384
daddrbits 64
indirblks 4
dirblks 6
namelen 144
cpu% read -c 1024 /dev/sdN0/fscache
service cwfs
filsys main c(/dev/sdN0/fscache)(/dev/sdN0/fsworm)
filsys dump o
filsys other (/dev/sdN0/other)
noauth
newcache
blocksize 16384
daddrbits 64
indirblks 4
dirblks 6
namelen 144
