No, those partitions are added as /dev/<disk>h and up. You can just
mount them without performing any magic first.
Oooh, wait!  Are you talking about NetBSD and OpenBSD?  If yes, then I
need more information from you.  Please provide a link to some website
explaining how to mount a DOS partition without adding it to the
NetBSD/OpenBSD disklabel first.
Thanks!  (This is very important stuff for us OS groupies ;o)
