Do the following steps to enable ext2fs support in the kernel:
# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ext2fs
# make
# make install
You can use ‘kldload‘ to load the ext2fs module in to the kernel.
# kldload ext2fs
Then you will be able to mount your linux partitions by giving a command like:
# mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad1s1 /mnt
to unload module use
# kldunload ext2fs
To load the module automatically on system startup
add the following line in to /boot/loader.conf
ext2fs_load=”YES”
