In FreeBSD disks have slices and then each slice has "partitions".  In
general, you don't mount slices.  There are -- of course -- exceptions
but let's not make things too difficult to grasp :-).

If you're confused about formatting and mounting media (disks, floppies,
cdroms) in FreeBSD you should probably skim through the article:

"Formatting Media For Use With FreeBSD"
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/formatting-media/index.html
