I'm trying to mount a WD "My Book" external usb hard drive, and am having 
a problem.

My system:
  uname -a
FreeBSD opteron.foo.bar 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #2: Wed Jun 11 
21:20:59 IDT 2008     root@opteron.foo.bar:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL 
i386

  camcontrol devlist
<PLEXTOR DVDR   PX-716A 1.08>      at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,cd0)
<WD 5000AAC External 1.65>         at scbus4 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass1)

Gnome 2.22.1

from /var/log/messages:

I tried a few different commands:

mount -t msdos /dev/da0 /mnt/
mount: Using "-t msdosfs", since "-t msdos" is deprecated.
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0: : Invalid argument
[root@opteron ~]# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt/
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0: : Invalid argument
[root@opteron ~]# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Disk too big, try '-o large' mount option: 
Invalid argument
[root@opteron ~]# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1a /mnt/

[root@opteron ~]# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1c /mnt/
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1c: : No such file or directory
[root@opteron ~]# mount_msdosfs -o large /dev/da0s1c /mnt/
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1c: : No such file or directory
[root@opteron ~]# mount_msdosfs -o large /dev/da0 /mnt/
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0: : Invalid argument


Any help is appreciated, the exact command would be really helpful.

TIA
