1.3 Can I mount my DOS extended partitions?
-Unfortunately, this remains unsupported. All the framework is in place
-for doing so, but it didn't get done in time for the 2.1 installation.
+Yes. DOS extended partitions are mapped in at the end of the other
+``slices'' in FreeBSD, e.g. your D: drive might be /dev/sd0s5,
+your E: drive /dev/sd0s6, and so on. This example assumes, of
+course, that your extended partition is on SCSI drive 0. For IDE drives,
+substitute ``wd'' for ``sd'' appropriately. You otherwise mount extended
+partitions exactly like you would mount any other DOS drive, e.g.:
+
+mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s5 /dos_d
1.4 Can I run DOS binaries under FreeBSD?
