    If there is a way to read BSD/OS filesystems with Free/NetBSD, I
could have used a few weeks ago.  :-/  I moved about 20 gigabytes of
data from our BSD/OS 2.0 server to a NetBSD 1.1 one.  Neither NetBSD
nor FreeBSD could mount a BSD/OS drive.  Disklabel couldn't make any
sense of the drive, and the fdisk in the FreeBSD installer showed no
partitions.
