Mount NetBSD partition

Hello,
On my IDE disk, I have two disk labels, one of FreeBSD and one from NetBSD.
Now that I want to change to NetBSD, I would like to copy my data from the
NetBSD /home partition to FreeBSD.
However, only a device /dev/ad1s3 exists, with which I can only mount the / of
NetBSD. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
If I look at the fdisk output, can it possibly be something like that NetBSD
decided to start it's slices at 0-based locations while FreeBSD expects them
at 1-based ones?
Thanks in advance,
Daan.
The output of fdisk:
