Yep.  FreeBSD is unable to read your DOS partition (due to an
interaction with its size and some bugs in the msdosfs code) and will
remain unable to read it until the person who's rewriting our msdosfs
code finishes his work.  I'm afraid that you will be utterly unable to
install FreeBSD in this manner.
