    According to:

         http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/todo.html

    msdosfs work from OpenDarwin has been merged back
    into FreeBSD. This might address the "too large" issue,
    but I don't know, being just a newbie myself.

    So, it'd be either update to the latest release candidate
    for 5.3, or attempt to grab just the msdosfs stuff from
    the CVS repo and build that part of the tree against
    your current installation. ***I have no idea whether
    this would work or not, and strongly advise you not
    to do it unless you can get confirmation from an expert,
    perferably a FreeBSD committer, or you like to fix
    broken installations ....***
