Thank you, Alson! Works!
I forgot how to handle ms things. Even worse, I contacted
shop technician and got an information that it was intended
to reformat as the very first. He said explicitely it was
fat16 formatted. What would you do in this situation? Go as
it is now or do something like (I've read manual finaly):
  newfs_msdos -F 32 /dev/da0
Best regards
