Hi Gang:

I recently install FreeBSD2.0 on my 386 Intel machine with a existing DOS partition on  
my hard drive.  During installation, I forgot to create a mount point for my dos partition  
when I disklabeled the hard drive.  So there is no slice in my slice table to mount the dos  
partition to my FreeBSD.  How can I add that entry?  I have tried to run /sbin/sysinstall  
again to add the entry without any success.  Do I need to rebuild the kernel after that.   
Since I am new to FreeBSD, I don't know how to rebuild the kernel.
