What OS version are you using? The reason I ask is some of the debug cmd no longer work in v4.4. v4.1 was OK.

Works in 4.1.106 and 4.2.049....
Will likely work with 4.4.x if you take the boot drive and mount it on a Linux machine and read it that way.... The only thing you need to know is that the Linux box needs to have the XFS filesystem available and active in the kernel (either by loadable module or native compile).. Slackware is known to have this capability out of the box...
For manual type people:
It's slice number 2...
the mount command could be:
(assuming that hard drive to be mounted is master on a tertiary controller)
mkdir /mount_point
mount -t xfs /dev/hde2 /mount_point
primary controller master -- hda
primary controller slave -- hdb
..... etc ....
Lastly.... some add in paddle cards will supercede the onboard IDE/EIDE controllers and as such will be primary (and secondary if existing) instead of tertiary (and quadronary if existing).. controllers.... your mileage may vary.... to be sure, check the system logs with the dmesg command after you boot. Just look for the added drive and be sure that the boot drive has not been displaced as master...
