Check out the fix in FreeBSD-current.  The likely candidate for the bug
that hosed your system was fixed by the vfs_bio.c et.al. fixes committed
this weekend.  When BDE and Robert Nordier pointed out a certain behavior
of MSDOSFS (that I didn't know), I put together a fix so that vfs_bio
can accomodate it.
