You'll have to mount the DOS partition, copy over the file (restoring the name),then use pkg_add package.tgz to install it. To mount a DOS partition: mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt For extended partitions, use slice numbers >4. Ie, for the first logical disk: mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s5 /mnt This assumes your DOS disk is on your first IDE drive and is running FAT16.
