You don't need a FAT formatted partition. You need a spare partition, which contains no useful data already, on which you'll put FreeBSD. FreeBSD will format that partition in its own way (actually it will make its own UFS-style partitions inside that) so it doesn't matter what format that partition had earlier. R.
