I was a bit surprised, that it was not after installing 2.0. I imported the DOS-partition (using command disklabel) to wd0h at installation time. My DOS-partiton contains DRDOS6 and is 120MByte large/small. I created in FreeBSD manually a folder /dos (mkdir /dos) and mounted the partition with mount -t msdos -r /dev/wd0h /dos It works. (-r stands for read only access) Finally I added this mount command to the /etc/rc batch file which is executed at boot time.
