Isn't the first sector reserved for the boot block in UFS?

Depends on OS:

/* The blocks on which the superblock can be found.  */
static int sblocklist[] = { 128, 16, 0, 512, -1 };

Do you know of any OS that would put the superblock in sector 0?
I  googled a bit, but I couldn't find examples where UFS would
not start with a boot sector (afaics, it usually starts with a
bootblock area of at least 8KiB -- with OS-specific data in it,
e.g. a disklabel).
