[Wlug] mounting bsd44 under RedHat

[Christopher B Stank]

Opps!

When I said bsd44, I actually meant 44bsd.

Mount options for ufs
       ufstype=value

              UFS is a file system widely used in different operating
systems.  The problems are differences among implementations. Features of
some implementations are undocumented, so its hard to recognize the type
of ufs automatically.  That's why the user must specify the type of ufs by
mount option.  Possible values are:

  old    Old format of ufs, this is the default, read only.

  44bsd For filesystems created by a BSD-like system
(NetBSD,FreeBSD,OpenBSD).

etc.

Sorry for any confusion!  I have also tried it without the -o 44bsd and 
get the same error.
