Well, hm this is even in the FAQ:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/admin.html#MOUNT-DOS
(Question 7.8: How do I mount a secondary DOS partition?)
In your situation I would try ad0s5 and onwards. If you do not have the
device node under /dev, so create it:-) (No worries I have also forgotten
how to do such mounts on occasion before:-)
