At this point, you are supposed to tell what your disk layout is (or was :-). Is sd1 your boot disk? What partitions did it contain? Or is sd0 where your system is installed? In particular, do you still have /etc and /var/backups ? > I am using a CRYPTO RAID partition > and luckily I'm smart enough not to nuke that. Pray tell, what is that unnuked partition?

First you have to show what actually is left, i.e. what parts of the system are still available. Was sd1 a big /data disk such as /home, with the base system living elsewhere?
