fair enough, that seemed to get it working again. so now the question
is... how does one go about selecting which block to use as a new
superblock? i realize this may be a trivial question regarding
filesystems ( it's over my head) so i will happily take a link to a
comprehensive resource as a response, unless it really is an easy answer...
thanks again,

this is all well and good, but according to 'man 8 fsck', there is no
'-b' option. any thoughts on way around this? I'm running on 5.4-STABLE.
It looks like the fsck man page needs to be clarified, and the fsck
output needs to be modified. What is actually telling you to use -b is
"fsck_ffs".
