Is it possible to mount the FreeBSD USB iso image on a debian system? I need to edit one of the configuration files and the nearest USB port is on a Debian system. The hope is to add a line of text to a file, transfer the image to a USB drive and boot the FreeBSD system from the memory stick for an installation. I did try mount -t ufs -ro loop FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick-headless.img /mnt
try mount -t ufs -rw -o ufstype=ufs2,loop FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick-headless.img /mnt
specifying ufstype works with bsd disks in the same machine so should hopefully work with yours.
first to see what would happen and it appeared to work but ls /mnt throws an I/O error as does any operation on /mnt until one umounts /mnt. Thank you. Martin McCormick
