I have two hard disks, the first, /dev/rdw0 is 2GB and has Windows 95 and
FreeBSD 2.2.2 on it, in that order.

The second /dev/rdw0 is 4GB and has FreeBSD 2.2.5 and Widnows NT on it. 

Now that I have 2.2.5 up and running, the FreeBSD 2.2.2 slice on /dev/rdw0
is sort of wasted space. I intend at some point to get a hold of Partition
Magic and give the space back to Windows95.

In the mean time, I would like to mount the 2.2.2 file system from 2.2.5,
but I am having a hard time with the mount command. 

I am assuming that what I want to do is perfectly do-able, but that I just
don't have the syntax to do so.

#mkdir /disk1
# mount -t ufs /dev/rwd0 /disk1
/dev/rwd0 on /disk1: Block device required


an fdisk of /dev/rwd0 looks like this:
