It just fails with an "Invalid argument", so I think it's not able to recognize
the OpenBSD FS.  I can't do it the other way around, because I can't (yet) find
the OpenBSD driver for my AMCC (3ware) 9650-4 controller (FreeBSD's twa driver).
 Otherwise, I'm curious if maybe OpenBSD count moount the FreeBSD FS.

No longer truly important, because i'm using an extra machine as a waypoint for
a transfer.
