If you're using the bundled "tools" disk, and you want to wipe it, and format and mount it as a FreeBSD partition, you need first to scsiformat -w /dev/sd1 This, among other things, clears the "ro" (read only) software-set attribute that will prevent you from writing to this disk, even if you msdos mount it. There is a linux tool (consult the FreeBSD SCSI mailing list archives for info) that permits you to reset this attribute, but I had no use for the tools disk and simply used the above low-level formating command.
