I have changed the DOSType of my ext2fs partitions to one of the types NetBSD
does not mark as "unused partition", and now it mounts with no problem.

I have tested with "NBU\7" (NetBSD User) and with "UNI\2" (Amix).

My ext2fs partitions are litte-endian. If big-endian should not work I don't
know.
But if it doesn't and you decide to byte-swap, be sure to use the newest
available
"e2fsck" from Linux (I use version 1.09) unless you want to reinstall everything
again.
