How to create a partition for FreeBSD 9.0?

All instructions failed. Is there a way to mount a linux partition or
USB-stick and to redirect the output of the gpart commands to a log
file?

In linux after mounting a partition or usb-stick I would do it like
that:

spinymouse at q:~$ echo "$ ls -l" >> logfile
spinymouse at q:~$ ls -l >> logfile
spinymouse at q:~$ cat logfile
$ ls -l
total 2644
-rw-rwxr-- 1 test_user_q spinymouse    2614 Nov 24 03:43 bak_q_arch-mail
drwxr-xr-x 2 spinymouse  spinymouse    4096 Oct 13 22:47 Desktop
drwxr-xr-x 2 spinymouse  spinymouse    4096 Nov  1 18:19 Documents

drwx------ 7 spinymouse  spinymouse    4096 Nov 15 18:50 Spinymouse

So how can I mount e.g. an USB stick?

And could I then run something similar to

# echo "gpart show ada0s1" >> /path/to/usbstick/logfile
# gpart show ada0s1 >> /path/to/usbstick/logfile
# echo "gpart add -t freebsd -i1 ada0" >> /path/to/usbstick/logfile
# echo gpart add -t freebsd -i1 ada0 >> /path/to/usbstick/logfile

etc.?

I would like to post the output to the list.

TIA
Ralf
