Package: os-prober Version: 1.35 Severity: normal I'm seeing something similar here. However, I am able to make the partition be detected from the Debian GNU/Linux "sid" side by first doing:
mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=ufs2 /dev/hda1 /mnt I got the hint from the error message: Nov 24 23:11:56 lenny os-prober: debug: running /usr/lib/os-probes/50mounted-tests on /dev/hda1 Nov 24 23:11:56 lenny kernel: [ 500.924369] You didn't specify the type of your ufs filesystem Nov 24 23:11:56 lenny kernel: [ 500.924374] Nov 24 23:11:56 lenny kernel: [ 500.924376] mount -t ufs -o ufstype=sun|sunx86|44bsd|ufs2|5xbsd|old|hp|nextstep|nextstep-cd|openstep ...
