It worked just as this article said it would. Hi, you also need bsd disklabel support in the kernel. option is CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL here's a decent article on how to do it: http://freeunix.dyndns.org:8088/site/howto/BSDfs.shtml you REALLY don't want to try writing with it. I hosed a test filesystem that way. then you'll want to put something like: /dev/hda3 /freebsd ufs ro,ufstype=44bsd,noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/hda8 /freebsd/usr ufs ro,ufstype=44bsd,noauto,users,exec 0 0 in your linux fstab file, with appropriate mountpoints for your system. using fdisk options f,p,m you should be able to see the bsd disklabel pretty well. Though it is trial and error to see which FreeBSD partitions line up to which linux parttion numbers. Hope that helps. Tim by the way could you send this to the list also? for some reason my isp won't deliver mail to the list.
