I've misread your table up there. You should be able to mount up sd0s7 as normal. You may have to modify your disklabel to give that partition a letter, but otherwise you should be OK. > Sometimes I burn cd in windows95, but mostly I would like to burn cd under > FreeBSD, my HD is 2G, but I can't afford to assign each OS a 700MB partition. You can burn Rock Ridge format discs under FreeBSD, so you get 8.3 filenames in DOS and full length filenames on UNIX systems.
