I confess I simply thought you were talking of some cofbd device I didn't
know about ;)

If the cobd devices are native disk partitions, then you just mount them
as any other linux partition (after all, if you do dual-boot with them
they need to be accessed as any other linux partition).

If they are colinux image files, you mount them using the loop device,
like a cdrom file image (but with the right fs type, off course) or an
initrd image.

Something like this:

mount -t reiserfs /mnt/windows/colinux/root.fs /mnt/colinux_root -o loop

(maybe it's not the right syntax, so check it yourself)
