I thought it had been formatted as NTFS under Windows, but gpart does not show this.

Partition type !12 is "FAT32 with int13h extensions" according to this page:

Are you sure you formatted it as NTFS? It would show as ntfs (partition type !07 using the numbers) in the gpart(8) output if it was.

I didn't format the disk myself - it's one I picked up at a junk store. If I try booting up from it, it says NTLDR is missing, that's why I thought it was NTFS formatted.

I have mounted it now as -t msdosfs, but I'm surprised at it's layout since gpart identifies it as a 72GB disk and a rescue partition is normally only a few MBs.
