BTW - I DID get all the needed data off the drive before I started
mucking with the partition table and this is the output of fdisk
and disklabel

 $ fdisk wd1 
fdisk: DIOCGDEFLABEL: Inappropriate ioctl for device
fdisk: DIOCGDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device
 $ disklabel wd1                                                                                                                           
disklabel: Invalid signature in mbr record 0
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with the disk errors that
started this journey.  The system happens to be 3.1_RC2, but
if needed, I could change this box easily enough.  What other
commands are available to doctor the disk?
