I can mount my MS-DOS drive to a directory in FreeBSD (2.1.5 I think I
have), but is there an analogous method of reading the FreeBSD
filesystem on its partition?  ...and if not, how do I find out about the
FreeBSD filesystem structure so I can possibly write some apps to do
this (is my BSD virginity showing?)?
