Hi,

I was user of NetBSD (and a bit of slackware linux) before I moved to 
Free one (becouse I wanted nvidia 3D acc).
I have 80GB disk sliced (partitioned) into smaller pieces. Slice scheme 
is like that :

slice1: 7GB FFS (FreeBSD :)
slice2: Extended Partition which contains:
          slice1 in "slice2" : 60GB fat32
          slice2 in "slice2" : Extended Partition (and in this 
"extneded" slice is another 3GB fat32 slice)
                      slice1 inside slice2 of slice2: 3gb Fat32

This partiton scheme created Pastiton Magik 8.

My question: How to mount the 60 GB fat32 part. ?
I know about disklabel, and fdisk. But in FreeBSD it works somehow 
unpredictable.

I`ve klkload-ed msdosfs module, tried disklabel on /dev/ad0s2 (which 
damaged my partition table), but it still something about that it cannot 
mount partition (yeh, mount point e.g. /mnt/c exists :-\ ). Is freebsd 
so different against Linux, or NetBSD?

thanks,
Jan Sebosik
