I think I found the feature you're referring to, but it didn't quite work. Is this right?: # vnconfig -s labels /dev/vn0 /data/doscmd_C_drive # mount -t msdos /dev/vn0s1 /mnt msdos: /dev/vn0s1: Device not configured # ls -l /dev/vn0s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 15, 0x00020002 May 27 13:43 /dev/vn0s1 |Copying of labels in slices doesn't work very well, so handling images |of FreeBSD slices may require zeroing the old label in the image and |relabeling it in the vn device. This is just a plain disk with a DOS FAT slice on it, so there shouldn't be any FreeBSD disklabel involved (AFAIK).
