As I've already written: da0s1 is correct, but it only appears if I run
'mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt && umount /mnt' before.
Otherwise there's only /dev/da0, nothing else. Then I can mount 
/dev/da0s1. 
I'd just like to know how I can mount da0s1 without having to mount the
device itself first. The partition is there and works fine under Linux
and FreeBSD, but FreeBSD doesn't "see" it at first. camcontrol lists the
device as soon as I plug it in ('scbus 1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0)'),
but da0s1 won't appear before I use the above "workaround".
