That's probably the reason. rw = read/write. ro = read only.
If you want to write to your DOS primary partition from FreeBSD, you
need to mount the partition as read/write. Put the rw in /etc/fstab.
But be careful. I heard that FreeBSD's DOS filesystem code isn't
safe. You might corrupt the data in your DOS partition if you write
to it from FreeBSD.
