[OpenIndiana-discuss] mounting a NetBSD FFS drive on OI?

I just had an old NetBSD box die a horrible death, and want to extract 
what I can from its drives.  NetBSD 5.1.x, Berkeley FFS. Luckily I had 
most of it backed up to a VM and it's mostly replaced.

I have a USB drive caddy and can see the drive when I plug it in to my 
OI 151a8 server :

       5. c6t0d0 <ST332061-3AS-SD22 cyl 38911 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
           /pci at 0,0/pci8086,2032 at 1a/hub at 1/storage at 4/disk at 0,0


A bit of a google around hasn't been all that helpful - will I be able 
to mount the drive (happy with read only) and if so, how.

format> cur
Current Disk = c6t0d0
<ST332061-3AS-SD22 cyl 38911 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
/pci at 0,0/pci8086,2032 at 1a/hub at 1/storage at 4/disk at 0,0

fdisk shows me this :

             Total disk size is 38913 cylinders
              Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks

                                                Cylinders
       Partition   Status    Type          Start   End   Length    %
       =========   ======    ============  =====   ===   ======   ===
           1       Active    Other OS          0  38913    38914    100


It's probably just the a: partition that I'm after - it was a RAIDframe 
mirror component, but it should still show up as a normal drive.

Any hints?

Thank you

Carl
