The best way to describe this is "Yes and No" - FreeBSD is more likely
to be successful than what I encountered with OpenBSD, but there are
certain "needs" to be addressed. You need support for the ufs file
system either in your kernel or as a loadable module, and you need to
specify which type of ufs partition you are mounting - even amongst the
various BSDs, the format of ufs differs enough that the mount command
needs to know just which type it is encountering.

Annoying, eh?
