    Well, I think that what is happening is perhaps
    your /var, /usr and so on are under different
    partitions or subpartitions (disklabels as freebsd
    calls them). If so, you should be able to still get to
    them
    by mounting each of those partitions seperately with
    ffsdrv. Latest versions of ffsdrv have support for
    disklabel subpartitions. This means that /usr, /var
    may be mounted on windows under seperate drives, like
    X:\, Y:\, Z:\ etc. FreeBSD lets you mount other
    partitions into directories on the root / filesystem
    partition. One partition can be the / filesystem, and
    new partitions can be mounted at /usr, or another
    other location. Windows on the other hand represents
    each partition with a drive letter
