If your DOS partition is on the same disk as your NetBSD partition,
you can do (as root):

	/afs/sipb/project/netbsd/bin/dospart
	mount /dosc

A warning: on some modern systems, NetBSD panics when trying to read
files in a DOS partition, due to a bug.  This will probably be
addressed in the NetBSD 1.2-based installation coming out soon.
