Hehhehe. :-)
See, the *only* thing you need on ext2fs is /boot/*. You create a
fake root with fully-populated /boot on an ext2fs, and the real root
(including the kernel) on another partition. Since *loader* groks
ufs, you should be ok.
Actually, /kernel, /kernel.old may also reside on ext2fs, as they
not used after being loaded by loader.
Anyway, as the end result, your system will be running fully ufs
once booted. Special care will be needed when installing/upgrading
boot stuff, but...
