Ok. Cool. I had thought mount had spit out an error message.

This is a darn good question...
I've never used freebsd and don't really know anything
about slices, but this is my best guess(not just a wild guess):
If your bsd root slice is /dev/hda2
the ones following it should be /dev/hda3 and so on.
I would just try mounting various /dev/hda partitions and see
what's there, but if you have no luck:
in /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/genhd.c the freebsd disklabel
probing routines appear to add normal linux partition devices,
so they should just look like partitions to (the program)mount.
If you compiled your kernel yourself, did you compile in BSD
disklabel support? I would guess so if you can mount the first
one, but maybe one comes for free... If it's not compiled in,
you should try compiling it in, all the code I mentioned above
only gets included if BSD_DISKLABEL support is turned on.
If you didn't compile, you may need to recompile with BSD_DISKLABEL
support.
have fun
