Mounting a FreeNAS system partition and its storage drives.

Lets keep it short.
I can't mount a Freenas system partition (namely da1p2).
# mount -o ro -t ufs /dev/da1p2 /mnt
mount: /dev/da1p2: no such file or directory

what?
/var/log/messages says the drive is properly detected, it is also listed in /dev.
am I missing something?
 
What does "ls -l /dev/da1p2" say? Not just whether it is listed, but the details (device type, permissions, ...).
What happens if you try reading a few MiB from that device with dd?
 
I would aslo recommend checking out the partition to make sure it is UFS. There is a chance it is the EFI partition.
file -s /dev/da1p2

Also try another style mount directive.
mount -r -v /dev/da1p2 /mnt
