Well I am new at BSD and unix in general but I am familiar with 
Dos and c++.  Recently I decided to install FreeBSD on my machine.
I went and downloaded all the bin directory from freebsd.org because I
couldn't figure out how to use te ppp command to see my modem on com3
so anyways I got it figured out now I think but I want to be able to see
my MS-Dos partition because I downloaded XFree86 to it and I can't find
it.  It was there as wd0s1 during install and I can't mount it wich is
what I need to do to access the files I downloaded.  Please tell me that
I can access this drive, as it took a little while to download 44 megs I 
think it was.  Any help would be Greatly appreciated.
