--- Comment #5 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
This is fixed with the migration to ELF Tool Chain strings, as of FreeBSD 1=
1.0.

Testing with a memory disk:

# newfs_msdos /dev/md0
newfs_msdos: cannot get number of sectors per track: Operation not supported
newfs_msdos: cannot get number of heads: Operation not supported
/dev/md0: 2003 sectors in 2003 FAT12 clusters (512 bytes/cluster)
BytesPerSec=3D512 SecPerClust=3D1 ResSectors=3D1 FATs=3D2 RootDirEnts=3D512=
 Sectors=3D2048
Media=3D0xf0 FATsecs=3D6 SecPerTrack=3D63 Heads=3D1 HiddenSecs=3D0
# strings /dev/md0
BSD4.4=20=20
NO NAME    FAT12=20=20=20
Non-system disk
Press any key to reboot
