OK, after finally seeing some mail mentioning that I needed to run the
new MAKEDEV to create the /dev/sd#s# devices I was finally able to
mount my MS-DOS paritition I have on my sd0 drive again . I still can't
mount the two partitions I have on my sd1 disk. My sd1 disk is fdisked as
follows:
500MB for DOS
within this paritition are two extended/logical DOS partitions,
which are my DOS D/E drives.
500MB for FreeBSD
Before all of the slicing code I was able to create entries in my disk
label with the correct start/end locations so I could mount the D/E
DOS drives under FreeBSD.
After running the new MAKEDEV and attempting to mount every /dev/{sd1*,sd1s*}
device, I was unable to mount either paritition. An fdisk on /dev/sd1s1
shows an entry that would be the D/E logical DOS partitions. fdisk sd1s2
shows my FreeBSD paritition, which is what I would expect.
So my question is, with the new slice code, how do I mount these
two parititions again.
