i did try with the other pN values (for the other primary partition)
but i get a unrecognized file system or file system not supported
error.   i dont recall the exact message so shall try again today and
let you know.

also, can i view my usb pendrive under solaris using a similar command ?
i found a /dev/usb/mass-storage device after i plugged it in but was
unable to mount it... any thoughts ??

is *bsd ufs2 different from the solaris ufs ???  can i mount a bsd ufs
under solaris or vice versa ??
