Hello everyone,

I'm new to the FreeBSD world.  I have a question that I hope the pros can
answer.

Last nite I successfully loaded FreeBSD on my 486 PC.  Currently I have
both DOS/Windoze and FreeBSD partitions residing on the same harddisk.  I
have successfully mounted and accessed the DOS partition under FreeBSD.

I am curious, has anyone here done the reverse -- mounted the FreeBSD
partition under DOS? It certainly would be convenient, and may save my
heinie if I do something stupid while running Un*x :). 

Thanks in advance...
