# umount /1
# mv /1 /DOS
# mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /DOS

Then go into the file /etc/fstab and change "/1" to "/DOS" so it is
mounted in the right place when your machine starts up (if the DOS
drive is mounted at startup).

Again,

# umount /1

(Or /DOS if you have done the previous change). /stand/sysinstall does
not expect the DOS drive to already be mounted, unmount (umount) it
first.
