So I have a machine with a single 4 gig drive. The first 500 megs or
so are a Win95/MS-DOS FAT partition -- the rest is NetBSD.

I would like to be able to mount the MS-DOS stuff under NetBSD. The
obvious thing to do seemed to be to set one of the partitions in the
label to point to the MS-DOS partition. Unfortunately, I can't do
that, since all my partitions (a-h) are in use. (a is root, b is swap,
c and d I can't touch, e is an extra large /tmp, f is /var, g is /usr,
and h is /u).

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas on how I could trick the system
into giving me a way to mount the MS-DOS FAT file system partition?
