Hi all:

I have a linux swap partition  I want to share with freebsd. However I do 
not know howto access it.

partition:
1.  dos
2.  linux
3,  extension  -> 5 dos,  6 linux swap , 7 linux
4.  freebsd

I did following: 

cd /dev;  MAKEDEV wd0s3a

I got files from wd0s3a to wd0s3h

Then I tried to mount dos to test :  mount_msdos /dev/wd0s3a /mnt/dos

I got all sort of error message.

What is wrong?  how to setup device file for logical partition? 
How can I access linux swap ( /dev/hda6  in  linux fdisk)?
