Well, I'm not a BSD user (not since we ran it on an old VAX) but I would try using the switch "-t ufs" as in:

Code:

mount -t ufs /dev/somedevice /mount/point

Hope that helps...

I have FreeBSD 8.0 installed on my laptop and a PC at home.
I'm currently at work without my laptop. So I can't give EXACT syntax I used for mounting the BSD partitions when booting with Linux.
BUT
I do remember that specifying the filesystem as "ufs" didn't work.
I seem to recall the filesystem type had a "2" in it's name.
As in:

Code:

mount -t u2fs /dev/somedevice /mount/point

May be check : lsmod | grep ufs
( No module loaded by default.)

# modprobe ufs

.. And a command like shown by @ rnturn / slacker_et

Now that I'm at home and near my laptop. This is the command I used to mount my FreeBSD 8.0 partitions:

Code:

mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/hda10 /mnt/hd

Plus I also see this:

Code:

root@laptop:~# lsmod |grep -i ufs
ufs                    78788  0 
root@laptop:~# grep -i ufs /proc/filesystems
	ufs
root@laptop:~# grep -i ufs /etc/rc.d/*
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules:#/sbin/modprobe ufs
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules-2.6.29.6:#/sbin/modprobe ufs
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules-2.6.29.6-smp:#/sbin/modprobe ufs
root@laptop:~#
