The mount_ext2fs command needs a bit of work.

I don't know yet..  Probably will...

No, not on FreeBSD.-current  It might be on release (2.2) though.

I have not gotten around to those yet -- but they will be there within a
month or so.  You probably can port the stuff from lites -- I think that
at least the fsck works only with a few mods.

Sorry for not being more complete in my answers.  One of my goals is
to fully support ext2fs as a user filesystem in 2.2.  I would be suprised
if we will be able to boot from ext2fs though.  (It could happen.)
