What about the Q&D way of # newfs /dev/da1 to initialize a new UFS file system (without slicing and/or partitioning, no matter if MBR or GPT) and then simply try # mount -t ufs /dev/da1 /mnt and check if it works? Keep in mind you can - after you've verified this works - use tunefs to optimize UFS for use on USB sticks (optimization selection for speed or space, reserved space, and consider mount options like async/noasync or atime/noatime, depending on your intended use). See "man newfs", "man tunefs" and "man mount" for details. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
