Take a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt

It basically says that ufs has undocumented differences between implementations
and that it is real hard to tell them apart, so you have to tell the kernel
what ufs it is.

You probably want

mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/hda2 /mnt

It still won't work unless you have ufs either compiled in the kernel
or as a module.. But I'm hoping you done that.

oh also... 

didn't work is not helpful.. I don't know what "mount -t ufs /dev/hda2 /mnt"
actually said, but one of the things it might have said is "type ufs not 
supported by kernel". If you report actual output, I have an eaiser time 
helping you, as there is less guesswork involved.

have fun
