That's absolutly normal. DOS cannot see FreeBSD slices (just like it won't give a letter to a drive that has HPFS or NTFS on it). > i'm having a time getting to the second hard drive(the second drive does > not have a dos slice) i wanted it to be purely bsd. the first drive > which i'm working on will be used to store file(pictures) for later > access from the second drive. If I understand correctly, all you need is to access files that are created under DOS from FBSD. The easiest way would be to mount the DOS disk under FreeBSD. FreeBSD *can* access FAT slices (which is what DOS uses). Try man mount_msdos.
