I was testing a custom RedHat installation and blew away my partition
table. Not the brightest thing I've ever done.
If anyone could give me some pointers before I try to restore it,
I will be forever in your debt.
I've read Svend Olaf Mikkelsen's pages on partitions which is
extremely helpful, but there is quite a bit I do not understand.
Here's the result of Findpart:
