 Iirc you have to mount the whole slice at once. The subpartitions are then 
recognized. In your case that would be
mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/sdb1 /mnt/BSD
 BSD does not use the DOS partition scheme natively. If this would have been a 
dedicated disk you actually would mount /dev/sdb, not /dev/sdb1. So if sdb1 
does not work try sdb as well.

Bye,
Leonard.
