saying cannot find label is a strong indication that nothing is there.
Has fdisk and disklabel (with a write switch) ever been done on this disk?
I had this disk working in a FreeBSD 4.7 machine. When I installed FreeBSD i created one partition on the disk and it worked without error.
This was also strange:
When I moved to my new home I took the disk out of the 4.7 machine for transport. When I put it back and booted 4.7 there came the same errors (BAD SUPER BLOCK ...). I then put the drive into a system running Windows 2000 (don't know why I did this) and just startet it. Immediately after that I shut down Win2000 and moved the disk back to the 4.7 machine - booted it - and the disk worked again without error.
I have no idea what happend there - I just was happy that all data was still there.
