I think you're lucky it even boots, since I don't think booting a kernel
after DOS has has its hand on the system has been supported since
2.2.something.
If that CF card really must be a FAT FS, I believe both the Grub
bootloader and /boot/loader can run on FAT, so you should be able to
boot straight into FreeBSD without using DOS (have grub load
/boot/loader which in turn loads the kernel).
