To access a DOS partition, it must be mounted - i.e.
   mount -f type special_file mount_point
       
   mount -f DOS /dev/dsk/0p1 /dos/d:

   Here, the DOS partition is the first on the first hard disk, and
   the mount point is the directory /dos/d: - which is of course empty.

In terms of dual booting, pfdisk/bootmenu works well to give separate access
to DOS and 386/Ix
