Well, now you come to ask the question, I'm not sure. I interpreted it to mean that he wanted to access BSD/OS partitions from FreeBSD. Maybe that wasn't the original intention. I know that the file systems are similar enough to be accessible under some circumstances--for example, I can mount BSD/OS 2.x floppies on a FreeBSD system, but not on a BSD/386 1.x system :-) -- but I don't know if there aren't certain problems, like the device node structures and such. Any takers?
