No!!  The 2.8 and 4.2 filesystems are VERY different.  2.8 had 1K byte
blocks on all devices and other than that was a (sort of) vanilla v7
filesystem.  4.2 had different blocking factors on each partition and
uses clustering to improve performance.  The inodes aren't even the
same format.  Why not just bring up the Seismo/Harvard version of 2.9
and ethernetting your systems together??
