I appreciate the different responses that I have gotten.  As some of you may 
have realized I am not a guru in Linux / Solaris... 

I have been trying to figure out what file system my Solaris box was using... I 
got a comment from Paul that from the fdisk command he could see that most 
likely the partitions are Solaris UFS... I don't see that information anywhere, 
so I'm wondering if I missed something, or if you are assuming this Paul?

I am sure I will not use ZFS to its fullest potential at all.. right now I'm 
trying to recover the dead disk, so if it works to mount a single disk/boot 
disk, that's all I need, I don't need it to be very functional.  As I 
suggested, I will only be using this to change permissions and then return the 
disk into the appropriate Server once I am able to log back into that server.

I will try the zfs import just to give it a go.  I have done modprobe fuse and 
have it loaded... but the fact that allow is not available in the latest 
version clears up why that wasn't working...

Sorry Darren, I was not sure what the CC Forums really did and I just chose 
ones that I thought might be related to ZFS not realized that Crypto is 
probably another project...

I got another suggestion that the file system is UFS, which would make me think 
that mount -t ufs /dev/sda1 /mnt/mymount should work, but given that that fails 
with 

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       or too many mounted file systems

some thing is not right... but that's probably more a linux community 
discussion topic... thanks thought.

Thanks for your suggestion Mark, I will look in the linux FUSE although I do 
have a feeling we downloaded the Solaris FUSE software and put it on a linux 
box... I'll have to look into that some more.

Thank you for your responses...
