Hi,
So, after yesterday I`ve succesfully solved the problem with: mount -t msdos /dev/ad1sX /mnt/X (x >= 5)
thank you 4 your help,
Jan Sebosik

Hi
When I disklabel -r /dev/ad1s2 (the first extended slice), i get : a: 135186912 62 MSDOS c: etc # don`t delete this line....
mount -t msdos /dev/ad1s2a /mnt/c --> no such file or device (yeah, I`ve now looked into /dev/, and it really doesn`t exist in.... but don`t know why it is so)
mount -t msdos /dev/ad1s2 /mnt/c --> invalid argument
fdisk /dev/ad1s2 :
part1: start 63 size 135186912 (66008MB) type XY
part2: start 135186975 size 8209215 (4000MB) <- this is 2.nd extended partition I mentioned in prev. msg
It`s still unclear to me, why disklabel doesnt create a /dev/ad1s2a....
tnx Jan Sebosik

If you get no joy from my previous reply forget about disklabel.
Unlike with OpenBSD, with FreeBSD you do not have to write a disklabel to be able to mount an MSDOS slice (primary or extended).
If you were mounting an extended partition under Linux you would mount /dev/hdx5 or /dev/hdx6 and so on.
With FreeBSD extended partitions start at /dev/[s/a]dxs5.
Good luck again!
