The question is whether or not msdosfs properly supports FAT16 or
not, because that's what disks were formatted with under MSDOS 4.0 -
6.22. What happened when you converted the disk via Win2k is that the
machine converted the filesystem to FAT32, which is a completely
different system from FAT16, and which is guaranteed to be supported
with FreeBSD and msdosfs.
HTH,
