Dave, this may be more than you want to take on, but check out this article about the filesystems on the Tivo and see if it has any techniques that you might be able to use to figure out the Snap filesystem:

Also, I saw this tool discussed *somewhere* (saved the link on some darned computer or other...) which can guess at the partition table on a disk:

I've not used it, be careful with that one.

Hope that helps,
