I have an OpenBSD Virtual Machine (v.5.4) that, unfortunately, got shut
down improperly the other day.  This machine had a mounted partition
/dev/rwd0j, which disklabel is reporting as a fstype of 4.2BSD (fsize 2048,
bsize 16384, cgp 1).  The partition is completely full with an encrypted
filesystem image, which was mounted at the time of the evil shutdown.  When
I try to mount the (host [/dev/rwd0j]) partition, I receive an error
telling me that the filesystem is not clean and I need to run fsck.  When I
manually run fsck, I am receiving an error that the 'version of filesystem
is too old', and that I must update it to a more recent format with 'fsck
-c 2', using a version of fsck that is from before release 5.0.

Unfortunately, I have vital services on this virtual machine that I need to
get running again as soon as possible for users other than myself.  I have
not been able to locate any archive with a binary version of fsck for i386
from a release of OpenBSD prior to 5.0, nor am I able to find any way
around this, at least during the first few dozen times ramming my head into
the brick wall here.  I would very much appreciate any ideas that anybody
might have in order to get this filesystem clean and running again asap.

Thank you muchly in advance!
