I hadn't initially, but I have now:

# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument

And dmesg:


umass0: Western Digital External HDD, rev 2.00/1.04, addr 2
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <WD 1600BEV External 1.04> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-4 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 152627MB (312581808 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 19457C)
mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry
mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry
mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry



...which seems to suggest the drive is to big for mount_msdosfs
to work.
