As to using da0 rather than da0s1, that's how I've always seen to mount a msdosfs partition (and it works for my 256M usb key drive).

Flash drives usually don't have partition tables. The WD drive does; I checked it with fdisk before trying to mount, because some vendors like to use s4 instead of s1 (hello Iomega :> )
