Just the other day, somebody committed some code for FAT32 for
FreeBSD-CURRENT.  This is the "bleeding edge" version of FreeBSD, but
it's available if you understand that you can't always rely on it to
do what you want.  Having said that, I've been using -CURRENT for a
couple of years now, and haven't had too much trouble.
