Unable to mount USB keys

Hello,

I have an issue when trying to mount DOS/Windows formatted keys. As you can see,

Code: 
# fdisk /dev/da0
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=487 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=487 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 7 (0x07),(NTFS, OS/2 HPFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
    start 1072, size 7830480 (3823 Meg), flag 80 (active)
	beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
	end: cyl 249/ head 30/ sector 48

All seems good to me, but it doesn't work
Code: 
# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0: Invalid argument

Code: 
# fdisk /dev/da1
******* Working on device /dev/da1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=243 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=243 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 11 (0x0b),(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT)
    start 8064, size 3903616 (1906 Meg), flag 0
	beg: cyl 15/ head 1/ sector 12;
	end: cyl 471/ head 15/ sector 32

In that case, the same problem exists. I had never had such issues before.

Thanks for you help, Gollum
 
The first one is NTFS. OP,
Code: 
 tags are more appropriate for long sections.  If you use [cmd] tags, the parameter in the first tag is for a prompt, like "%" or "#" for root.
 
Most likely, the first partition (or slice in FreeBSD language) is called da1s1, not just da1.
Make it a habit to always do $ ls -l /dev/da1* when things like this happens, just in case the os has a different idea than you about what things should be called.
Or could it be that you confused da0 and da1?
