--- Comment #5 from Ed Maste <emaste at freebsd.org> ---
This is fixed with the migration to ELF Tool Chain strings, as of FreeBSD 11.0.

Testing with a memory disk:

# newfs_msdos /dev/md0
newfs_msdos: cannot get number of sectors per track: Operation not supported
newfs_msdos: cannot get number of heads: Operation not supported
/dev/md0: 2003 sectors in 2003 FAT12 clusters (512 bytes/cluster)
BytesPerSec=512 SecPerClust=1 ResSectors=1 FATs=2 RootDirEnts=512 Sectors=2048
Media=0xf0 FATsecs=6 SecPerTrack=63 Heads=1 HiddenSecs=0
# strings /dev/md0
BSD4.4  
NO NAME    FAT12   
Non-system disk
Press any key to reboot
