*jaw hits floor*  *happy ecstatic face!*  Well one HDD is in one of those 
external usb enclosures (that emulate scsi it seems), this worked just now!

# mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sda1 fbsd

Aha I wasn't aware there was a 1 and a 2 for UFS.  Next task is to figure 
out how to mount these other partitions, sda5 aha, that worked!  Yeay!!

from me, unless you have another idea for my charity...?  Up to you.
