In FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 there was the DOS-partition automaically available after
installation. 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.
