mount sun UFS file system on MacOSX 10.4

I am trying to mount a SCSI drive with a ufs file system from a sun box on a Mac OSX 10.4 box. I thought UFS was supported, but it's kinda' buried. I am able to see the disk as /dev/disk1 on the box but normal mount commands don't work because /sbin/mount_ufs doesn't seem to exist any more.

I can see the disk in "disktool -l" as a UFS file system and also can see the disk in DISKUTIL but the "mount" button is greyed out. I can also see it in system profiler.

I have found this command which looks like it would work but I can't figure out what it's asking for:
/System/Library/Filesystems/ufs.fs/ufs.util

The part I don't understand is it's asking for NODE. I'm assuming it's talking about DISK NODE NAME or something other than "loaclhost" or the "uname -n" output. (I tried both) Does anyone know how to pull disk node name off of scsi disks or know what <NODE> is? If so the command I would use would be like this:
/System/Library/Filesystems/ufs.fs/ufs.util -m disk1 <NODE>

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm pulling my hair out over here.
