Well, start by checking on what partition is listed as you BSD partition 
(user the mount command w/ no switches), then just try random /dev/wd0* 
entries.  Try to guess based on where the partitions are relative to your 
primary DOS and your FreeBSD.  Also, maybe MAKEDEV could be your solution.
Look at the man page; that could be the easiest way; just make the 
wd0* devices that you don't have.
