I have a PC with two internal IDE disks with BSD/OS filesystems on it, one
removable IDE disk with BSD/OS 2.0.1 and one removable IDE disk with
FreeBSD 2.0.5.  I can mount filesystems from the two internal disks when
I boot BSD/OS, but I cannot mount those filesystems when I boot FreeBSD.
Is it possible to make these BSD/OS filesystems available to both BSD/OS
and FreeBSD depending on which removable disk the PC boots from?
