In fact it will be downright content... You don't REALLY need to give it more space, in fact, if the kernel is compiled right (with support the file system FAT32), you can use your FAT32 partitions from inside of FreeBSD =)... Just modify the file /etc/fstab to automatically load one of your FAT32 partitions on start up... If any of that was confusing, don't worry, it won't be by the time it becomes an issue.
