I don't have my FreeBSD drive here, but as I remember, the mount command
goes something like
mount -t ufs /dev/hda8 /mnt/ufs -o ufstype=44bsd
Also, make sure you have the right device in the command. BSD, as you
must know, uses "partitions" inside "slices"- Linux sees it as an extended
partition, as long as you've compiled BSD disklabel support into the
kernel as well.
How do you get the proper device name? Well, if your drive is hda,
grep hda /var/log/dmesg
Will turn up a line like
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 >
Remembering how you partitioned your BSD slice will help, but here you see
four BSD "partitions" in my hda3 "slice." fdisk will read your BSD
disklabel, and provide you with the sizes & letters of your slices. Try
it!
