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.
