Yes BSD/OS is regular UFS and I thought it would be possible as well. And
yes ro is what I was trying.

Ive tried various incantations of ad2 and disklabel says: unknown error 0
in a few cases and in one case bad disk label on ad2c.

This disk is good as BSD/OS on it does boot fine. I'll keep hunting around
and see what I can come up with. I may end up after all getting the data I
need the old fashioned way and restore...hate doing that over the network.

Thanks,
Keith
