OH! That's the info you were looking for ... I thought you were just looking
for the "ext2fs" option to "mount" ...

 http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/disks-naming.html

that might help a bit ... I have not done this myself, but I believe I 
remember from Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD" book that the 1st logical
drive is slice 5. So, under 4.0 "whatever" might be:

  /dev/ad0s5

give it a whirl. Can anybody else verify or disprove the above (I'm just
guessing and trying to remember from broken memory :).
