I hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply bakunin, but you haven't answered my requirement.
See I have a mksysb which is not containing my application mount point as it was taken with excluding those mount point due to size contraints.
Now I want to recover the system with those mount points. System is not booting.
This is the scenario, now pls suggest how can I restore my system along with those mount points. I have a spare disks on which I can restore the mksysb, but then what abt those application mount point, how I will be able to recover them from those failed disk.

msdos
MSDOSFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual MSDOSFS(5)
NAME
msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
options MSDOSFS
DESCRIPTION
The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt
where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points. This helps
to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ada0sN /dos msdosfs rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
tory layout.
