8.5. How do I mount a secondary DOS partition?

The secondary DOS partitions are found after ALL the primary partitions. For example, if you have an "E" partition as the second DOS partition on the second SCSI drive, you need to create the special files for "slice 5" in /dev, then mount /dev/sd1s5:

        # cd /dev
        # ./MAKEDEV sd1s5
        # mount -t msdos /dev/sd1s5 /dos/e
