Amancio, in a friendly and constructive manner I'd like to suggest you
RTFM/RTFS before you start confusing people more than needed.

It works, it works well, all you have to do is mount /dev/wd0s5 for instance.

You cannot represent your MSDOS slices in your BSD disklabel, because
that's not the way to do it anymore.  Any partition which would
be outside the BSD slice is ignored.
