I have two IDE drives in a 386/33 we're running FreeBSD 2.0 on -- the 
second IDE drive was originally a DOS drive (and technically still is) -- 
we'd like to mount the DOS partition on the second drive into /dos so we 
can FTP it over to another DOS system using the FreeBSD FTPd.  Mounting a 
dos partition from the main drive was easy, but I don't know how to go 
about setting up the disklabel so that the second drive can be mounted.  
It's about 125 megs and fills the entire drive (wd1a).  Any assistance 
would be greatly appreciated -- I have a reasonable grasp of unix in 
general, but the low level hardware setup seems to differ greatly from 
place to place ;).  

thanks in advance..
