Just wantede to say that I too have had this problem. I did this very same thing. You see, all i wanted to do was move some files from dos to freebsd. Thats all that I wanted.... 200 megabytes of redownloading the Freebsd distribution and reconfigging everything has taught me that "mount -r -t msdos /dev/wd0" is a bad thing. Because I am quite new, I will continue to treat mount msdos with superstition. No response to this messsage is needed.
