In case anyone is wondering 'Why the hell would anyone wish to do this?' 
consider the case of various embedded systems and small devices where 
the medium is pre-formatted as MS-DOS. or where the format on the medium 
is tied to MS-DOS for other reasons. And it'll also let you boot FreeBSD 
from your digital camera if your hard disk fails.
