Unfortunatly you need a /dev/rsd1a. :-(

One thing you might check is to see if it got far enough along to make
/dev/rsd1a. cd to dev, and do an ls -l rsd* and see what you get. If you
have rsd1a, run fsck on it.

Technically fsck_ffs has to be run on the raw device rather than the block
device (rsd1a as opposed to sd1a). fsck_ffs looks at the node you give it,
and if it's a block device, tries the raw device. You might get lucky and
have the raw device even if you don't have the block device.

Take care,
