I newfs'd /dev/rsd0c (I meant rfd0c...) once. I managed to recover though. I
think I was able to mount my partitions (only the first few were messed up)
and just abandon the files that weren't there totally. I might've fsck'd
too. Of course, that's not quite the same as just toasting the first 50k so
you're probably in a different league.

ps I have a screen shot of the aforementioned incident:
