msdosfs charset support must be compiled into the kernel or
loaded by mount_msdosfs(8) first time it is used.

When mount_msdosfs command run with superuser rights,
it loads needed code into the kernel successfully.
Without superuser righs, it fails.

Just load libiconv.ko and msdosfs_iconv.ko by means of
/boot/loader.conf or /etc/rc.conf at boot time and
you should be fine.
