  Back to my first thought, then - just delete the partition from
/etc/fstab.  That should keep Linux from trying to access it at all. And
if OBSD started it, I think I wouldn't be tempted to dump Linux for
it.  And I use *BSD quite a bit.

  My unproven personal observation is that FAT32 over ~12G is unstable
under any OS.
