Subject:   Why USB enclosure with HD isn't a block device?

I got USB enclosure and put HD there.
I tried to create NTFS on it (using mkntfs from sysutils/ntfsprogs).

And got the message:
/dev/da0 is not a block device.
Refusing to make a filesystem here!

mkntfs does 'stat' on /dev/da0.
Why /dev/da0 stats not as a block device?
