>Description:

Creating a small ufs filesystem with default parameters on Solaris 10
or OpenSolaris creates a ufs variant that is not well supported by NetBSD.
The ufs code in libsa is not able to read the / directory (so can't boot 
kernels from this filesystem), and trying to access the filesystem from
a running system results in a panic

# mount -r /dev/sd1a /mnt
# ls /mnt
panic: buf mem pool index 55

>How-To-Repeat:

See above. An image of a test filesystem is at

  ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/martin/ufs.img.bz2 (~84kB, big endian)

>Fix:
n/a (besides avoiding the kernel panic, I'm mostly interested in libsa support
for such filesystems)
