Are you sure about what are you doing? /dev/sda is the WHOLE disk!!! (more exact: the whole
first SCSI disk). The partitions are /dev/sda1 , /dev/sda2 ...
imagine, your DOS partition is e.g. /dev/sda4 then do
mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /mnt
To examine your partition table, type
fdisk /dev/sda
and then
p
and you'll see your partitions and their fs-type.
