Brian,
I mean this to be done in FreeBSD, so that mandrake is practically just
another directory like windows can be.
/etc/fstab:
/dev/ad0s1 /windows msdos defaults 0 0
/dev/ad0s2 /mandrake ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/ad0s4a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0s4b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad0s4c /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0s4d /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0s4e /tmp ufs rw 2 2
/dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto rw,user 0 0
Hope that helps.
