The command syntax is wrong, see man mount first.

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt should mount it on /mnt

Don't forget to unmount before you eject the disk! ;-)

These aren't drivers but the specify disklabels in a freebsd slice, i.e.:

/dev/ad0s1a
	ad0 = IDE drive 0
	s1  = FreeBSD slice 1
	a   = the partition, a for /, b for swap.c whole disk, d-z user defined

See the handbook for lots of interesting stuff about using FreeBSD
