Thanks for the answers. I will make a note of this command. I have now
installed 6.8 and am gradually getting my settings and software back.

Hi Otto,
Thanks for your reply. This is what I see on a shell from bad.rd when I try
to access the first SATA HDD.
# disklabel sd0
disklabel: /dev/rsd0: no such file or directory
# disklabel sd0c
disklabel: /dev/rsd0c: no such file or directory
Same for rsd0 and rsd0c.
The device nodes don't

Okay, thanks Stuart.
I have left testdisk running a deep scan and will see if it finds my /var.
I know I'll still have to mount the partitions and I don't know if an fsck
would be able to fix any damage done by newfs.
I think at this point I'm better off starting again as like others I've
done

Hi,
So I was upgrading my box to 6.8 and managed to accidentally overwrite my
disklabel and filesystems. I ran install instead of upgrade and stopped
after the filesystem creation when I realized my mistake (see ending
paragraphs).
The new disklabel was different due to auto allocation changes
