The easiest way to do it is by just using /stand/sysinstall.
Use the partition editor to add the second BSD partition, then use the
label editor to setup the partitions you want.  Then, make sure the
partition and where you want to mount it is included in /etc/fstab; I
believe /stand/sysinstall takes care of that automatically.  Then, all you
have to do is issue a mount command.
Assuming you're mounting the extra space as /extra_space, just do:
mount /extra_space

> How to mount floppy drive and CD-ROM?
For a CD, type:
cd /
mkdir cdrom
mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom

For a floppy, the device should be /dev/fd0.1440 (for a 1.44 meg floppy)
So:
cd /
mkdir floppy
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0.1440 /floppy
for a MSDOS floppy.
