I am trying to mount an USB-Stick with https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/re...reeBSD-11.2-RELEASE-powerpc-mini-memstick.img using an i386 https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/re...MAGES/11.2/FreeBSD-11.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso but am failing.
When I insert the stick, /dev/da0 is added in the file system, but the expected entries for the partions /dev/da0sX are not.
Background: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/...-via-ssh-how-to-autostart-live-os-sshd.67115/
fdisk /dev/da0 reports 4 partitons, first (boot?) of type Free/Net/...BSD, the three partitions 2-4 just "<UNUSED>"
gpart reports "no such geom /dev/da0".
With Ubuntu, gparted reports 4 partitions, first "unknown", second "hfs" - labeled "FreeBSD Bootstrap", third "ufs" (260 MB), forth "unallocated".
I can mount that partition with "sudo mount -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sdb3 tmp/" - sadly debian derivates seemingly have write support for ufs disabled in their default kernels (and using a small *BSD is even advertised as a workaround somewhere ...).
I reobtained the image and recreated the stick without changes one time.
As far as I understand, ufs is a well established file system for *BSD and should work out of the box. Am I missing something? Should there be a problem mounting a powerpc installation stick (did not occur with i386 version) in a i386 live system?
