IF IT IS A TRUE MSDOS PARTITION:
Yes. With the disklabel(8) program, find out how it is called by NetBSD
(look for the cylinder numbers).
Then
mount -t msdos /dev/sdNY /the/msdos/partition
where:
- N ist the disk number NetBSD assigns to your disk, (normally 0 if
you only have one SCSI/IDE drive)
- Y is the partition letter yous see with disklabel
- /the/msdos/partition is a directory you created for this purpose.
Be aware that the proper kernel support must be compiled in:
options MSDOSFS
i think.
