My NetBSD system has gotten corrupted. How do I mount my NetBSD partition on voidlinux?

The typical recovery doesn't involve any other OS. If your kernel
works and finds the / partition you can "boot -sa" and select
/rescue/init as init replacement, then fix things from there.

If that doesn't work, just boot a USB installer and escape to shell,
then fix whatever needs fixing.

I fully agree to what Martin said. Just for the case you still want to access to FFSv2 from Linux, this is from my notes as I once had a similiar case*):

```
$ sudo mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sdf1 /mnt
```


Kind regards

*) try to find a low-barrier, sustainable emergency access method to my FFSv2-formatted external USB backups for my family. Found out that giving them a live Linux System to boot from USB media was the easiest way. Another option I considered was ufs2tools for Windows (https://ufs2tools.sourceforge.net/) but this seems unmaintained.
