Jakob Alvermark:
 |FreeBSD is supposed to support mounting of dospartitions, primary as well 
 |as extended. I can mount my primary dos partition, it works great. But 
 |how do I mount the second, extended partition? I think it works when you 
 |have all partitions on the same disk, but that's not the case here. I 
 |have one SCSI-disk with FreeBSD 2.1.6R, and a second disk with two dos 
 |partitions, primary and extended. I can mount the first dos partition, 
 |but not the second one. 
 |So, my question is: Is there any way for me to mount the extended dos 
 |partition on the second disk? I've not subscribed to this list, so I 
 |would be glad if send answers directly to me. 

Consider subscribing to the list and auto-filtering list mail into a file
folder.  You pick up a lot of useful info that way.

See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook19.html#21.  Adapting to your
particular problem:

     cd /dev
     sh MAKEDEV sd1s5
     mkdir /dos_d
     mount -t msdos /dev/sd1s5 /dos_d

Works for me at least, though I'm running 2 IDEs and primary/extended DOS
partitions on both drives.
