I'm not new to computers, just UNIX.

I cannot get FreeBSD 2.2.1 to access my msdos partition so I can get to
other components I want to install.  The sysinstall program says it
can't access that media and I can't seem to mount anything.  I never had
any problem doing this when I installed Linux a few years back, but I
didn't like Linux and thought I'd try BSD.

Please help so I don't have to go back to Linux.  Thanks.
