    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
