I'm still using that method and it works for me.  However, you should
*NOT* set the partition type to MSDOS!  Disklabel seems to think that
MSDOS refers to a MBR (or something like that); when I set type=MSDOS
my MBR was hosed, too.  It was a bug in disklabel that is now gone,
although I still have the type of my MSDOS partition set to unused.
The type is not checked by mount nor by mount_msdos.
