That's the problem I'm having and it appears to be due to the root

fix this problem. From the research I've done, it doesn't appear to
be possible (not easily anyway).
Even if the root vnode is missing, I'd be quite happy with it
reattaching whatever vnodes are floating around to some "bit bucket"
directory the way ext2 puts stuff in lost+found. Or even just dumping
every *file* to a flat directory full of files I can grep through to
find the handful that I need.
dumptool will dump all the vnodes to a flat file. or salvager with
-orphans attach will attach orphaned vnodes.
Unfortunately as I discovered last night, neither will work if the root
vnode is corrupt. I was able to Salvage the data, but not in an easily
usable format. I used Jeffery's afsdump_* utils to get the data out:
./afsdump_extract volume_name dest/ -v -i <- dump the data
to dest/
./afsdump_scan -Pd -v volume > FileList.txt <- Create a flat
file with vnode/filename mappings for finding things from the above dump.
