subject: mount: unknown filesystem

How does one go about mounting and examining a freebsd root
filesystem on a raspberry pi 3 running Linux raspberrypi 4.9.24-v7+ #993 SMP
Wed Apr 26 18:01:23 BST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux  ?

From the man page it looks as if both mount and fsck should recognize
type ufs filesystems, but trying to look at a freebsd microSD card
on a Raspbian system produces

bob@raspberrypi:~/com $ sudo mount -t ufs -o rw /dev/sdc2 /mnt
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ufs'

When fsck is invoked with
bob@raspberrypi:~/com $ fsck -t ufs /dev/sdc2
the reply is
fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
which suggested that util-linux needed to be installed. However, it's
already up to date.

Thanks for reading and any guidance!
