4.9-STABLE - need to mount USB hard drive, create partition, newfs, etc

[Daniel C. Mahoney]

I've got a 4.9-STABLE system. I have a 250GB USB hard drive, and I'd like to 
create a UFS file system on it then mount it. It had an ext2 file system on 
it, but deleted it before taking it off the Linux box. 

I've tried working with disklabel and fdisk, but I don't seem to be 
understanding the man pages since I'm not getting anywhere. The system *is* 
seeing the drive as /dev/da0. 

Can anyone offer me directions on what I've got to do?
