You need to edit the NetBSD disklabel, and create a MSDOS partition
in it.  So use say f:, and give it the the appropriate size and offset
(that is the location of said MSDOS partition.)  and I _think_ that
the fstype will be MSDOS <grin>, then just mount it by:

mount -t msdos /dev/wd?f /mnt

Not sure, I've never tried this one...
