I have :) You mount UNIX disks the same way you mount DOS disks except you don't specify a type. For instance, I have a new disk on sd0 that I just formatted, so to mount it I run: mount /dev/sd0s1a /mnt And the disk shows up on /mnt. If you want them to show up automatically, add entries for the disks to /etc/fstab. See http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/ for details.
