Bruce Evans:
|For the current problem, just configure the vn device to support slices and
|labels.
I think I found the feature you're referring to, but it didn't quite work.
Is this right?:
# vnconfig -s labels /dev/vn0 /data/doscmd_C_drive
# mount -t msdos /dev/vn0s1 /mnt
msdos: /dev/vn0s1: Device not configured
# ls -l /dev/vn0s1
brw-r----- 1 root operator 15, 0x00020002 May 27 13:43 /dev/vn0s1
|Copying of labels in slices doesn't work very well, so handling images
|of FreeBSD slices may require zeroing the old label in the image and
|relabeling it in the vn device.
This is just a plain disk with a DOS FAT slice on it, so there shouldn't be
any FreeBSD disklabel involved (AFAIK).
