Well, I have never done this before either, because on my PC I never had
DOS running :-) .
So boot FreeBSD, read the handbook and use the manual.
I guess you need to do a mount, like the following:
(to do this, you have to log in as root!)
# mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt
| | | +---- An existing empty directory
| | +-------- Partition number starting with 1
| +---------- Number of IDE-Disk starting with 0
+------------ Using IDE-Disk
This example assumes, that you have msdos-filesystem on the first
Partition of your first IDE-Disk.
If this turns out to be successfull, you do a
# cd /mnt
# ls
and you should see the files in the dos partition.
Good luck,
Wolfgang Helbig
