Is it possible to create a 32MB FAT32 partition?

Using newfs_msdos -F32 da0s1 doesn't work. (A 32MB FAT32 partition has already been created - da0s1) Additional parameters are required. A list of those available is here, but I can't stumble across the magical combination. Maybe it is due to some restriction in FAT32, I don't know...
 
gpart destroy -F da0
gpart create -s mbr da0
gpart add -t fat32 da0
newfs_msdos -L Stickusb -s 32M -F32 /dev/da0s1

Not really. You need a little more room than 32 MiB (33 MiB seems ok), provided you use -c 1 option for newfs_msdos.

You'd better use FAT16 which is more suited for such a partition/slice size.
