Use RDBrecov if you lost the RDB (partitioning information) of your
harddisk.

RDBrecov searches an entire harddisk for partitions. It can handle PFS2,
PFS3, AFS and SFS partitions.

Since V0.6 it also finds FFS partitions. As FFS needs the partition size
for calculating the rootblock position, first all possible FFS bootblocks
are stored in a table and in a second pass the rootblock positions are
calculated and checked. FFS handling can be switched off by an option.

RDBrecov lists the partitions found into the Shell window and optionaly
into a log file. With this information you can use HDtoolbox (or another
partitioning tool) to reconstruct your partitions.

Harddisks larger than 4GB can be accessed, if the device driver is
either NSD or TD64 compatible. SCSI-Direct is not supported.

New since V1.10

 - Compiled with VBCC, 64bit multiplication with C99 long long.

 - Added support for HD_SCSICMD (a.k.a. Direct-SCSI).

 - Now using SCSI Read Capacity to determine disk size if TD_GETGEOMETRY
   is not supported, so that you only need to specify CYLSECTORS.
