First, the question should be forwarded to questions@freebsd.org. Here, its the
Documentation list. Can you explain us why you choosed freebsd-doc before
freebsd-questions?
Second: FreeBSD do not currently support FAT32. There is a patch from
NetBSD/OpenBSD but its really beta. Maybe soon, with the Win98 who use FAT32...
So for now, FreeBSD do not support it.
