Hi All,

I can only mount the first BSD partition "a" (root / filesystem) in
linux. All the rest of the partitions (b for swap, c represents the
entire disk, d for /var, e for /tmp, and f for /var) cannot be mounted
at all. I want to access /var and /usr as well. All of these
partitions (a to f) are inside the FreeBSD slice
/dev/mapper/virtualmachines-freebsd1. virtualmachines-freebsd1 is akin
to /dev/sda1.
