I am new to FreeBSD and, after searching the documentation, have been under the impression that FreeBSD cannot read or write to the FAT32 file system. I was told today, via email from questions@FreeBSD.org, that the MSDOSFS option in the kernel enables FreeBSD to read/write to FAT32. The MSDOSFS option is included in the GENERIC kernel. For people who are considering using FreeBSD, this is very important information. During evaluation of the OS, it is very helpful to have common partitions that are readable by all OS's on the system. If the MSDOSFS kernel option does, in fact, enable FreeBSD to read/write FAT32, would you consider making this very clear in the FAQ?
