Much appreciated either way, @DavidAnderson , I'll just take it from the top with a fresh install of MacOS since I pushed the big red button that I wasn't supposed to, but I will wait a few hours for a miracle (not like I can make it worse).

nope, I've still got the question mark white folder showing up at startup @DavidAnderson. I got sloppy and didn't make a time machine to save my behind.

I took a step back, removed the partition disk0s2, and used the proper syntax that you've brought to light.

thats a handwritten mistake of sorts, I'll change it since i just attempted the proper command you dropped @klanomath

ah, that makes sense, I can only hope now that my mistake is not one which I cannot recover from. :V

I'm sure I've accepted your answers before @DavidAnderson , like the one where you introduced Gdisk and the gpt methods I actually used here. It usually ends up being either your answer or Klanomath's, since that's what works

If anyone knows where the light in al of this is, and knows of a means that I can still recover from this, without a time machine, do tell.

Have I no hope for recovery of my files @DavidAnderson

So, @David Anderson, what you are saying is that I'm going to need a fresh install of MacOS because I blew it? I do not have a time machine, I know (facepalm), is there no hope for recovering my data, files, and such?
