It is UFS, although Linux might call it something else.  However, the 
last time I looked, the memstick image used a "dangerously dedicated" 
bsdlabel partition, which might not be understood by non-BSD systems. 
It should be possible to skip over the bsdlabel sectors when mounting 
the filesystem, but I don't know how many blocks should be skipped.
