Insert your disk into the disk drive. We'll use drive A: as an
example.
If you have a 1.44 MB disk, use the following command:
# mount_msdos /dev/fd0.1440 /mnt
If you have a 720K disk, use the following command:
# mount_msdos /dev/fd0.720 /mnt
Then your files will be availible in /mnt, from the disk.
To unmount the disk after you're done with the disk:
# umount /mnt
I also recommend that you use FreeBSD 3.2, as it is tested and
stable at this point.

1. DOS/UNIX file transfer - How please?
If you put the patch on a 1.2MB / 1.44MB disk unsing normal DOS copy
etc. you can copy it from the disk to the SCO box using
doscp -r a:<file_name> <file_name>
See the man page for doscp
