This means that your DOS partition's clustersizes are not where FreeBSD expects them. You get this if you use FIPS or Partition Magic to shrink your partitions. There isnt much you can do for this other than reformat & reinstall the DOS slice. Unfrotunately, this means that you cannot access your DOS partitions without risking corruption. Dismount the disk immediately and do not mount them until you resolve the problem.
