I don't know much about DG-UX, but assuming it is like most other flavors
of unix; how about using 'newfs -N' to see where backup superblocks
_would_ be created if this was a real newfs, then try feeding those backup
blocks to 'fsck -b' until you find one that is still valid?
Note: Please check the DG-UX man page for newfs to confirm that the -N
flag does what is expected.

>From the Solaris man page for newfs(1M):
"OPTIONS
-N Print out the file system parameters that would be used
in creating the file system without actually creating
the file system. fsirand(1M) is not called here."
