Can you boot a Plan 9 terminal on the disk
(or boot the install floppy) and then look
at the second block on your pseudo-worm?

Also, backups are good.

I had a problem like this once right after I'd
set up a pseudo-worm and other partition on the
same disk using the p device.  I never tracked
it down, but my superblock was the beginning of
a PostScript file.  The case fan had broken, so
I think it might have just been heat problems.
