Yes, and in OSX this drive has been formatted with their
idea of a UFS filesystem.  The trouble I encounter appears
to be because
1) there is no dos partition information (no slices)
2) freebsd cannot read the mac disklabel format (no
partitions)

I just want to confirm that I'm not running into any
stupidity with regards to the partition information.

Thanks for confirming that bit about HFS, but I was 
already pretty certain on that account...
