hi martin,
the way you are mounting your logical partition i
assume is wrong, as that you have to supply the slice
number on your disk....

if FreeBSD and the C: Partition are primary, and D: is
logical, i.e. under and extended partition,

D: should be /dev/ad0s3, or 4.  The rule is... you
cannot just simply say ad0 to mount and it will
complete your request because you havent supplied
which partition you want to mount, i.e ad0 is the
whole disk.

Also... logical partitions, are same as any other
partitions (mounting wise), as i am telling you this
because i have 4 logical partitions, and 4 primary.

so... an example mount command would be...

mount -tmsdos /dev/ad0s3 /tmp

Thats should solve the problem.. ah! and if you can't
find the mount number as in s<x>, than just type 

ls /dev/ | grep ad0s

and it will show you all the entries...

thanks...
