Hi,
  I am still running 386bsd (pk-0.2.4) and will like to ftp many things
from Uni's Sun to my home box, and I do not want to carry my tower with
me all the time and hook it to the net and do the transfer. So I wonder
has anyone tried mounting a *BSD partition onto to SunOS ? Will Sun read
the ufs made under *BSD ? How about for disk with > 1 partition ? I have
DOS, 386bsd booot partitions on an IDE drive, and only file systems on the 
other SCSI disk. Will Sun recognize the partition type (0xA5 for 386bsd) 
and read the filesystem correctly ? If not, is there a hack for this ?

  How about the other way round (ie. read Sun ufs on *BSD) ?

  Many thanks in advance and email replies appreciated!
