Storage on FBSD

[Angus Barrow]

It is indeed possible to have FreeBSD read from a FAT formatted drive
however this is not necessary if you will be sharing the files via a
network connection.  If you are sharing files to windows machines then
it is easier to have the files to be shared on a UFS formatted partition
and to use SAMBA to share the files.  See
