   How can I get at the MSDos partition from the NetBSD partition? I
   know I need to use mount_msdos - but which device should I go for
   (or create) ?

You don't use mount_msdos -- it's not intended to be called directly
from the command line.  You generally use ``mount -t msdos etc...''.

There is a whole section in the *BSD FAQ on this.  You can find it
posted regularly in comp.os.386bsd.announce.
