Description
UFS is the UNIX Filesystem. It is used on Sun boot CDs for the partition storing the loader.
We need an ufs_shell able to write a simple UFS partition containing our bootloader. However, a full filesystem implementation may be a good idea while we're at it.

So, we now have some support for FreeBSD UFS2, but Solaris remained on UFS1 (the main difference is that block/fragment pointers are 32 bit instead of 64, but there are other changes too). Also, the endianness needs to be handled, since UFS and UFS2 are native-endian filesystems.
