im trying to mount a logical fat partition under fbsd.  it is the only logical partition in my extended partition which is #3 on my primary master drive.  mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s3 doesnt work....it says "invalid arguement".  ive tried /dev/ad0s3x and /dev/ad0s3x (with x being every letter from a to g) still no luck.  what am i doing wrong? below is the output of fdisk.
thank you.
