[8.0-RELEASE] ext2fs mount fails

[Mikle Krutov]

Well, i could not verify that under freebsd. Every fs-tool (except
testdisk - tried to use it to restore superblock after message 'wrong
magic number' appeared first time) tells me that i've got wrong magic
number for this filesystem.
I can not give the gpart show output right now; will send it in couple of days.
