I did a re-install over the weekend and used the cdrom as the source for
the freebsd files. The fstab file looks like this now:

#Device             Mountpoint      FStype      Options     Dump    Pass#
/dev/sd0s3b         none            swap        sw          0       0
/dev/sd0a           /               ufs         rw          1       1
/dev/sd0s2e         /usr            ufs         rw          1       1
/dev/sd0s4e         /var            ufs         rw          1       1
proc                /proc           procfs      rw          0       0
/dev/cd0a           /cdrom          cd9660      ro          0       0

So I was'nt very far off with the options i was trying...

Now I just have to figure out the modem and the config files for the serial
ports.. I have also been trying to get access to the net from the bsd
machine, when the os/2 one is online (the dialer supports IPMasquarading,
and it's setup), the win95 machine can get out to the internet and receives
it's request's back, but the bsd machine wont get anything back.
