Seems that you may be confused by the difference in device disk naming
at FreeBSD and Linux:
/dev/da0 <--> /dev/sda
/dev/da1 <--> /dev/sdb
/dev/da2 <--> /dev/sdc

FreeBSD uses numbers (0,1,2,...) for disk renumbering while Linux uses
characters (a,b,c,...).

So if FreeBSD documentation uses "/dev/da1" notation, the Linux
command equivalent should be "/dev/sdb".
