Subject:   mounting a slice from a NetBSD bios partition using FreeBSD 4.4-RC

I have a NetBSD FFS partition on a SCSI disk that I would like to mount
from FreeBSD, but I can't figure out how to do it. Is there some
fundamental difficulty here I should be aware of?

The NetBSD filesystem on partition 2 was made using NetBSD 1.5.1 i386.

goose# mount /dev/da0s2a /mnt
mount: /dev/da0s2a on /mnt: incorrect super block
goose# mount /dev/da0s2 /mnt
mount: /dev/da0s2 on /mnt: incorrect super block
goose#


goose# uname -a
FreeBSD goose.home.automagic.org 4.4-RC FreeBSD 4.4-RC #0: Mon Aug 27 22:24:43 EDT 2001     jabley@goose.home.automagic.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GOOSE  i386
goose# fdisk
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=4462 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=4462 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 63, size 20980827 (10244 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 169,(NetBSD)
    start 20980890, size 20964825 (10236 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>

The old NetBSD disklabel was as follows (partition 2 appeared as slice h):

# /dev/rsd0d:

disk: mydisk
