Still in single user, disklabel sd0 gives:

#/dev/rsd0c:
type: SCSI
disk: SCSI disk
label: fictitious
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 46
cylinders: 1792
total sectors: 167301
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0          # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0

7 partitions:
#         size      offset         fstype    [fsize  bsize      cpg]

  a:         2      167299           unknown              #(Cyl.  1818* - 1818*)
  c:     167301          0           unused     0  0  0   #(Cyl.      0 - 1818*)
  g:     167155        144           4.2 BSD    0  0  0   #(Cyl.      1*- 1818*)
disklabel: boot block size 0
disklabel: super block size 0

That's what it says!

Thanks for the help.
