A Google search for

	ext2fs undelete linux

gives you an idea what you're facing.  AFAI recall, there's no
easy BSD undelete(2)-style utility.

When I did a very stupid thing and clobbered my MBR and beginning
of the first slice on a BSD machine, I ended up writing my own
tool to munch raw disk blocks and recover my partition table.
It's doable, but not exactly Unix 101. :-(

You're much better off just restoring from backups.
