I'm attempting to install FreeBSD-2.1.7 from an extended DOS partition,
your notes suggests this is possible using the following command " mount -t
msdos /dev/wd0s2 /dos_e". "wd0s2" is my extended dos partition, "e" is the
logical drive I created solely for FreeBSD distribution files. Logical
drive "d" I use for WIN3.1 and "c" is my primary dos partition. I used the
mount command at the initial Boot: prompt when the boot disk loads up. The
extended partition appears on the fdisk screen but not on the Label editor
screen. When I attempt to install I get the message " Error Mounting Dos
patition /dev/wd0s2 : invalid argument (22).
