    I asked a question about my inability to mount /dev/ad02.
    The drive is partitioned DOS-DOS-FBSD.

    If I set up the partitions Primary1-Primary2-Primary3, WinNT "hides"
    Primary2, and I have to "unhide" using Partition Magic every time I
    boot into that hateful OS. However, I CAN acess Primary2 from FBSD.

    If I set up the partitions Primary1-Logical1-Primary2, WinNT is happy,
    but Logical1 cannot be mounted by FBSD.

    Looks like there is no way round the DOS/BIOS limitation. :-(

Brian
