(I think this belongs in a FAQ somewhere...)
Actually the offset is not a hard 32, but the offset in sectors of one
track, since track 0 is apparently reserved for the MBR and such.
This only applies if the DOS partition is the first thing on the disk;
otherwise there's no (discernible) problem. From what I can tell, anyway...

* I posted the solution to this not a week ago. I had the same problem.
* And to think a few people thought it was inappropriate to post to the mailing
* list, hmmph.
* Solved by putting offset 32 on partition H.
*
* Does your version of disklabel not properly install the fstype=MS-DOS also?
* I tried to file a bug report on that but it may not have gone through.
