To set up the 'dos' partitions prior to installing FreeBSD, I use the Win95 program fdisk. At one point it asks whether I want to use the more-native Win95 file system or the more-generic 'dos' file system, warning that other operating systems may not like the Win95 system. My question is this, if I use the Win95 file system (32 bit?), can I still read/write from/to the disk from the FreeBSD world? Or will this nasty warning that Micro$oft is giving come true?
