Using FreeBSD to examine/work on a Solaris disk

[Wesley Groleau]

I have an i386 FreeBSD 5.4  I've stuck a disk from a Sun Ultra 10 on the
ATA0 slave.

If possible, I'd like to mount it to see what's what.

(and tweak some /etc files so I can get into the Sun).

Is there an fstype to mount the disk?  Or even a way to see the
partition table?

All the ones I tried wouldn't work.  FreeBSD does recognize there is a
disk there.

Of course, I can't be sure it's Solaris---previous owner might have
been into Linux/BSD/whatever.

A rather unusual install situation

[Wesley Groleau]

I have looked at the install doc, and I don't think this is covered.
I have an older Intel box that is unable to boot the 5.x CDs, and is
unable to create CDs from images anyway.
I am also unable to create floppies, nor do I have enough space to
build from source.
I do have 4.9 installed and running, and it has full network access
to a Mac (OS X), which has dialup to the outside world.
Is there a way to download any format of the latest stable FreeBSD
to the Mac, and from there, via NFS or FTP, upgrade?  I do have two
disks on Intel, so if necessary, I can boot one in order to install
on the other.
Or if I can get someone to make me a CD, can I install from it without
booting from it?
