Hi,

A day ago or so I wondered why I could not mount my netbsd system from
Linux:

root@tellus:/home/thorman>mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/hdc2
/netbsd
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc2,
       or too many mounted file systems
 
and stupid as I was, I believed this mean that it either was
"wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc2, or too many
mounted file systems".

It turned out ufs was only supported in read-only mode. So
by supplying the magic flag '-r', things mounted nicely.

A successful fstab entry is:

/dev/hdc2  /netbsd   ufs  ufstype=44bsd,ro 0 0

where "ro" and "ufstype=44bsd" are the crucial options.

Best regards,
