SunOS CD-ROM's in the UFS format are *not* ISO-9660 compatible. They are in a so-called UFS format, which is apparently their idea of a UNIX file system, but on a CD device (well, it could happen...). As far as I know (but I could be wrong), there is no support for this filesystem type in FreeBSD to-date.
