How do I find out where they are and compare them?
This is an FAQ, and probably in the handbook somewhere
(google for "alternate superblock"):
* According to "man fsck_ffs", block 32 is usually
an alternate superblock.
* You can also use newfs -N to find out where
the superblocks are probably located and
fsck_ffs -b to recheck the drive using
one of the alternates instead of the trashed
primary.
* 40G IDE drives are cheap and plenty big enough
to give you a sandbox for trying to recover
your 26G filesystem image.
Someone else mentioned "fsdb." I've never used
it myself, but it looks like it might be useful to you.
