I guess I don't understand what you're trying to do.

Why do you need to see the DOS partitions?  To mount them, do

mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1c /mnt

to mount the dos partition on your first ide disk.  

If you get a warning, do umount /mnt and don't do it again, you risk
damaging your filesystems.
