Yes, you need to mount it. Unfortunately, this will only work with ext2/3 Linux slice (e.g. ReiserFS is not supported by FreeBSD). If it's indeed an ext2/3 partition, you can mount it with the following command (you should not write to Linux slices from FreeBSD in order to prevent data corruption, so the disk is mounted read-only). # mount_ext2fs -o ro /dev/ad<N>s<S> /mnt/linux You can determine N (the device number of the hard drive) with the following command: # dmesg | grep ^ad To find out the right slice S, run the following: # fdisk /dev/ad<N> Now you have all the ingredients, so something like # mount_ext2fs -o ro /dev/ad2s1 /mnt/linux will probably work for you.
