I've got my device and it comes with a pre-formatted msdosfs which can
be mounted with:

# mount -t msdosfs -o large /dev/da0s1 /mnt
# df -kh /mnt
current# df -kh
Filesystem            Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1            1.4T    115M    1.4T     0%    /mnt

I only want to use it as backup (created with dump(1M)) and I think it's
better to make an UFS on it;
