This sounds a little confusing.  I first read that as meaning using the
unix mount command, but that mounts a volume on a directory mount point of
another mounted volume, and the DSP ship you're talking about isn't even
an operating system, much less a logical volume.  Must be wrong there.

OK, did you mean mount as in physical mounting?  That chip isn't that
large... Nah, you couldn't have meant that!

Well, I'll answer what does make sense.  You asked about the source code
... yeah the source code for all of FreeBSD is freely and openly
available, on any of the many FreeBSD mirrors of wcarchive.cdrom.com.  On
wcarchive, you'd look into /pub/FreeBSD.  I get the idea that the code
there isn't going to do what you think it will, but maybe that's a start.
I don't understand the rest of it well enough, I guess.
