I know the FAQ says how to mount extended DOS partitions under FreeBSD (it
says I should see wd0s4..7 in my case). But I don't see those entries under
/dev and the mount command won't mount the partitions. When I first
installed FreeBSD, I was able to get it to automatically mount wd0s1 (DOS
drive C:, mounted to /mnt/msdos_c/), but it wouldn't accept any drives in
the extended partition.

Running FreeBSD 2.1.7 Release.
Western Digital Caviar 2.5Gb EIDE HD (with LBA on, but I don't have any
problems)
I'm also running System Commander to boot Win95, DOS 6.22, WinNT 4,
FreeBSD, but that shouldn't cause any problems.

I have 4 partitions:
1	Primary DOS		 402MB
2	Ext. DOS		1201MB
	D:		406MB
	E:		303MB
	F:		406MB
	G:		 87MB
3	NTFS			 370MB
4	Non-DOS (FreeBSD)	 469MB

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
