Stupid question, but ... has your BSD partition _ever_ been formatted
???
Linuxconf, or fdisk, or whatever, will only add the partition in
the partition table(s) on the disk, it will not make a filesystem ...
(this is not specific to ufs, it would be the same with _any_
filesystem type).
Even with M$-DOG, you have to execute fdisk _then_ format.
