   permission to write to it.  We basically want to give open access to the 
   drive to any user on the system.  Am I missing something in the fstab?  I 
   know FAT32 doesn't support permissions, so my thought was that it should 
   actually just allow full read/write by all users.
  
   Any ideas or things to look for?

I think in FreeBSD, the permissions on the mountpoint directory
(unmount the fat32 first) would get propagated when the fat32 is
mounted, but I wouldn't be suprised if there are flags you could
put in fstab that would be specified by the fat32 mount command.
