Try mounting /dev/ad0s1 instead and see if that works. Failing that, you might 
want to make sure you have everything you need in your kernel config. Umass 
devices need some of the scsi devices as well to functionproperly. The 
chapter in the Handbook on building a custom kernel should be helpful i that 
regard.
