  I just found an example mountlist for a harddisk partition and it used
  'MSHx'. Maybe 'MSDx' is used for floppies only by CrossDOS.

  It didn't boot correctly. My BSD FFS partitions didn't get mounted rw,
  thus the boot process had a lot of errors.

  I don't think I was able to run disklabel. AFAIK, I could boot with NBU\8
  without MSDOS support in the kernel. disklabel showed a MSDOS partition.
  After enabling MSDOS support booting failed. I am using plain 1.5.
