Here I have the "/" partition on sdb10, swap on sdb11 and another data partition on sdb12.
(the bad "subpartition message" is for partition sdb11, the OpenBSD swap partition)

So I can mount sdb10 and sdb12 using the following /etc/fstab entries:

/dev/sdb10 /b10 ufs ufstype=44bsd,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/sdb12 /b12 ufs ufstype=44bsd,noauto,ro 0 0

and then

mount /b10
mount /b12
wow, this is great tips!
thanks a lot to you, comet--berkeley

i successfully mount ro openbsd /home using slax linux ( kinda blasphemy ) that is 200MB iso to save your day
