Thanks for responding. Here is the output of fdisk when ran from FBSD:
frankie# fdisk
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=155061 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=155061 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 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 11 (0x0b),(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT)
start 63, size 10249407 (5004 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 637/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 10249470, size 40949685 (19994 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 638/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 12 (0x0c),(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT (LBA))
start 51199155, size 5863725 (2863 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 5 (0x05),(Extended DOS)
start 57062880, size 99233505 (48453 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63

As you can see, I still have 98SE on partition 1 and partition 3 shows as fat32. Slackware was re-installed and is working on P-8 with linux-swap 0n P-9.
Is this weird that I cannot mount ad0s3?
