Should be:  mount -t msdos /dev/wdXsY /mnt

	X is the bios drive (0 for the first drive, 1 for the second
	drive, 2 for the third, and 3 for the fourth)  Assuming IDE of
	course.

	Y is the slice, since it's dos we're talking about, it's probably
	safe to assume that you're using slice 1

Assuming that your DOS partition is on the 1st partition of the 1st drive,
this will work:

	mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt

Then, 'cd' into /mnt and you'll find you DOS drive.

Good luck..
