The documented place for finding filesystem documentation is in the appropriate mount_foofs manual page. The mount(2) manual says: By convention filesystem manual pages are named by prefixing ``mount_'' to the name of the filesystem as returned by lsvfs(1). Thus the NFS filesystem is described by the mount_nfs(8) manual page. Since there is already a mount_msdosfs(8) manual page the msdosfs(5) page should be deleted. FreeBSD is doubly buggy w.r.t. ffs since there isn't a mount_ffs program to go with the correctly-named manual page.
