Don't you want to be mounting one of the logical DOS partitions inside the
extended DOS partition? I thought those started numbering at slice 5, so I
think you might be able to do:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV wd0s5c
mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s5c /d
to get the first logical DOS partition out of the extended DOS partition? I
haven't done this in a while and I don't have a FreeBSD system handy at the
moment, but that's how I thought it went.
