How did you verify that /dev/ad8p1 contains a valid ext2fs (on FreeBSD)?
AFAIK, recent dumpe2fs should work in any case if the partition contains
a valid file system. My guess is that there is something wrong with the
partition or how FreeBSD sees the partition.

"gpart show" output might be useful for starters and maybe similar
output from Linux.
