You can always mount a DOS partition under BSD. Whether or not this will screw up your BSD partition is a function of whether or not you ran FIPS (or have a non-standard geometry translation). BSD will show this when you mount as an "...is not a multiple..." warning message on your console. If you get this message, don't use the DOS FS mounts.
