On windows there is no problem in mounting. The FAT32 is in what DOS calls the 'Extended Partition', here da0s2. It could contain a number of 'DOS drives' like D:, E:, etc. Here you have made one 'DOS drive', probably 'drive D:', and it's accessed in FreeBSD as slice ad0s5. DOS 'drive E:' would be accessed as ad0s6 and so on; this way you can mount multiple MSDOSFS, NTFS and HPFS 'partitions'. So the 'Extended Partition' da0s2 is not mountable per se; try 'mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s5' and likewise 'fsck_msdosfs /dev/da0s5' You'll still need the MSDOSFS_LARGE support if your FAT32 slice ad0s5 is over 128GB by itself.
