you are right in most linux when you boot up it says
hda1 hda2 hda3 <hda5 hda6> hda4, but not in my case here
is what i get:

Partition check:
 sda: sda1 sda2 sda3
 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3

as you can see i dont have that option to mouht hda4-6 or what ever
even if i try it it claims it does not exist and since i know the ufs
is a sliced up pration why indeed doesn't linux see that?

Ha!

First of all there are ufs slices which if I remember right
represented as extended partitions with hdaN, N>4, look at
your dmesg, something like:
 hda1 hda2 hda3 < hda5 hda6 > hda4
so you can not mount /dev/hda3 cause it sliced
inside (a, b, c, etc.. ), and you should mount /dev/hda5,
/dev/hda6 etc..

Secondly ufs support in Linux is broken like hell.
When I tried to mount ufs partition ( FreeBSD )
I got kenel msg : "Fucking Sun is blowing me..." -
very respectable :{). Anyway,  I saw a couple
of ufs patches but never tried them.

It is probably because of partition ID and should be
silently ignored. I marked my Linux swap partition
as FreeBSD one, so I can use it as FreeBSD swap partition
( I need to disklabel it in every boot in FreeBSD and mkswap
in Linux ) but it is really another story...
