I also discovered the command pdisk. fdisk displays the partition information and pdisk will allow us to change and edit the partition entries.
How is your time frame? Would your patience allow me to continue in the morning? Like I said I can do all of the experiments on my system to prove them out. The system is at work though and I'm headed home for now. I'd like to get you a working solution and then post the results. If you get more solutions posted in the mean time and you can wait I can test them on the sacrificial system here at my work. Just thinking of your important data. :-)
I love tackling these kinds of problems. Allows me to learn more about Mac OS.
