As a follow up I did manage to get everything sorted out. Redid the disk labels and used newfs and well in single user mode had to use ed to cleanup the fstab. After that booting bsd.rd to reinstall sets and then a restore from backup on a usb I made of what I would be hitting and all seems well. Well better...
