I have an external USB hard disk, wich already has unix dirs and

When plugging into a OpenSuse10.3, the dirs and files are immediatly
available under /media/disk-1 as unix dirs and files.

When plugging into a FreeBSD7.2 system:
on console I do get the messages:

but
# mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt
takes a while (drive spins), then
mount: /dev/da0s1 : Invalid argument
same result for all slices

Why is this and how to remedy?

(I can mount an USB memory stick with
mount -t msdosfs -o -m=644,-M=755 /dev/da0s1 /mnt)
How is the drive formatted?

From man mount:
