But there are tools for reading UFS on windows, e.g. http://ufs2tools.sourceforge.net/ The Mac can use a kind of UFS filesystem, but I don't know if it supports bsdlabels. > 2.

If you mount a partition from a USB disk, you have to tell mount where to put it. So create some directories like /mnt/usr etc and mount the partitions from the USB disks there.
