Does this still work?  I recall Apple removed UFS support a couple of
major releases ago.  Last I know it worked was with 10.5

As an alternative, you can boot up VirtualBox into FreeBSD and mount
the USB stick, or just boot pfSense into VirtualBox from your memstick
and use the console shell to poke around.

How exactly, you ask?  See my note on this:

I'm sure you can do the same with VMware Fusion if you have that but I
don't have the details for how.
