To mount my dos partition, I type:

	mount_msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos

On my FreeBSD filesystem, I have a directory named "dos".  When I issue
this mount command, the entire directory tree from my dos partition
appears in that directory.  Then I can use it just like it were part of my
FreeBSD filesystem. To copy files from it, use cp.

for example:

	cp /dos/download/lynz.tar /usr/ports/distfiles/lynx2-3-7.tar.Z

since dos has no file permission system, be sure to use chmod 600 filename
on any files you copy from your dos partition.
