It's all fairly straightforward. The only thing you need to watch out
for is not putting your UFS partitions at the start of the disk. It's
been many years since I last did it, but from memory, ext2/3 leaves
enough empty space at the start of the partition that it doesn't
conflict with the bootloader. UFS doesn't, so you need to allow a bit
of extra space.
