gpart can recover partition tables. I used it to recover a failed disk where
the extended partitions were screwed due to a disk failure. Every attempt to
restore the tables on disk failed. The partion table grew stranger each time,
but I could recover data from a disk image.

no idea other than the man page....,sorry.
