/dev/ad1s3 is a slice, not a (FreeBSD) partition. Before you use it,
you should partition it with disklabel. If you're going to put a
non-root partition on it, convention suggests giving the partition a
letter between e and h, so you'd end up with:
# disklabel -e /dev/ad1s3
(add a partition h, identical to c except for partition type
4.2BSD followed by 3 0s).
# newfs /dev/ad1s3h
