First, determine which partition on which disk the DOS
partition is on. Then, you can mount that device using
mount -t MSDOS </dev/?> Sorry, I can't give more
information, but I seem to have forgotten the device
names for harddrives and I don't have access to any
servers right now. Should be /dev/ad? or something
similar. Also, you can insert an entry into fstab with
roughly the same idea (following the fstab syntax,
obviously) if you want it to automatically mount when
you start in FBSD.
