Sven, you might want to look at this:

From: Stuart Norris <norris at euler.mech.eng.usyd.edu.au>
I have hacked together a version of a Unix 5th (and 6th)
Edition filesystem for Linux. It is read only, and was written for
Linux 2.0 on an x86 and so will require a little work to install on
other systems and newer kernels, but it is fun to be able to mount
old disk images.
Cheers,
Warren
