The cleanest way is to restore from backup and proceed. Furthermore i suggest to investigate what happened to cause this problem. Normal operation doesn't lead to this type of error. A conceivable common cause is a failing disk which "hdisk type 4" errors have been ignored for too long and now manifest as a "hdisk type 3" error (which is permanent - replace the disk).
In case of absence of a backup (which should lead you to some grave remodeling of your backup strategies and -processes) you might try what the article suggests. You need to locate only one good copy of the superblock to copy it over. Because the superblock is a central datastructure of a filesystem you cannot mount it or do anything else with it as long as you have not corrected this.
I hope this helps.

msdosfs
MSDOSFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual MSDOSFS(5)
NAME
msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
options MSDOSFS
DESCRIPTION
The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt
where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points. This helps
to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ada0sN /dos msdosfs rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
tory layout.
