It looks reasonably close but I think there are a couple of hardwired 512-byte block reads that I didn't get to track down. However, the latest version of mtools (3.9.1) appears to work for me with an entry in /usr/local/etc/mtools.conf of drive m: file="/dev/da1" blocksize=2048 (obviously changing drive details as appropriate). It does put errors on the console, but the mtools operation does complete with expected results. You also seem to need a disk in the drive at boot-up for the MO drive to be configured.
