I just tried -current, supped just a few moments ago. No go :-(.
Mounting wd0a gives "incorrect superblock". Disklabel output seems ok.
I tried a fsck -n, and was rewarded with a memory management fault,
according to the trace command inside dkcksum() in readdisklabel().

fatal kernel trap:

    trap entry = 0x2 (memory management fault)
    a0         = 0xfffffe0002260000
    a1         = 0x1
    a2         = 0x0
    pc         = 0xfffffc000034e5a0
    ra         = 0xfffffc00004deefc
    curproc    = 0xfffffc0000a229b0
        pid = 19, comm = fsck

panic: trap

I could arrange for a crash dump but given the nature of the pyxis bug I
think that that may not be very helpful? Anything else I could try?

-Olaf.
