Running fsck in single-user mode may not be sufficient. You may need to run fsck_ffs from a USB-stick installation or live CD. I remember reviving a FreeBSD partition that way, normal root partition not mounted. I once revived a FreeBSD partition with fsck_ffs from a USB-stick installation of NetBSD 5.1_STABLE i386 after FreeBSD couldn't do it. It helps to have a UPS to protect against short power failures and allow graceful shutdown on longer power outages.
