Be *very* careful when doing this, in either direction.
If linux tries to mount a bsd partition as ext2fs (which can happen by
recompiling the linux kernel and changing the way it counts partitions
within the bsd partition), it will trash the bsd partition table. *if*
you know where your slices were, you can reset them with the
installation program (and I assume fdisk) and have them back.
In the other direction (bsd reading ext2), I don't know what the
current status is, but 3.1 would randomly write garbage into files at
times.
