Re: too many inodes?

There is some progress.  The trick is the -N flag to newfs, which shows plenty of super-block backups:

S# newfs -N -O 2 dk0
/dev/rdk0: 9537535.0MB (19532871680 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048
        using 51572 cylinder groups of 184.94MB, 11836 blks, 22976 inodes.
super-block backups (for fsck_ffs -b #) at:
160, 378912, 757664, 1136416, 1515168, 1893920, 2272672, 2651424, 3030176, 3408928, 3787680, 4166432, 4545184, 4923936, 5302688, 5681440, 6060192, 6438944, 6817696, ...

But even here, for each super-block listed, I got this result (of course, the number was 160,378912, etc on the other attempts)

# fsck_ffs -y -b 160 /dev/rdk0                                                                                                                                              ~
Alternate super block location: 160
** /dev/rdk0
BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
# fsck_ffs -y -b 160 /dev/dk0                                                                                                                                               ~
Alternate super block location: 160

Try using an alternative superblock.
