        Is it possible to mount the FreeBSD USB iso image on a

the nearest USB port is on a Debian system. The hope is to add a
line of text to a file, transfer the image to a USB drive and
boot the FreeBSD system from the memory stick for an
installation.
        I did try
mount -t ufs -ro loop FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick-headless.img /mnt

try mount -t ufs -rw -o ufstype=ufs2,loop FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick-headless.img /mnt

specifying ufstype works with bsd disks in the same machine so should hopefully work with yours.

first to see what would happen and it appeared to work but ls
/mnt throws an I/O error as does any operation on /mnt until one
umounts /mnt.

Thank you.
