Joachim Kuebart:
 |mkdir /dos_c
 |
 |Put the following line into your /etc/fstab
 |
 |/dev/wd1s1	/dos_c	msdos	ro 1 1


 |It's better to be safe than sorry and mount DOS slices ReadOnly. DOS
 |"Extended Partitions" are mapped to slices, I understand. This would mean
 |(I haven't treid it myself) for a disk with an extended partition:
 |	DOS drive		BSD device
 |	C			/dev/wd1s1
 |	D			/dev/wd1s2

No, assuming these are the only two FAT partitions, C is a primary, and D
is an extended, D is wd1s5.  Its also more likely these will be on wd0
rather than wd1.  See:
