Well, put a partition table onto it, then. You can use either gpart(8)
or fdisk(8) to do that and to create a slice, and then use newfs_msdos(8) to
create the file system.
I understood from your previous message that you wanted to create a FAT32
file system on /dev/da0 rather than on /dev/da0s1, which meant on the bare
device rather than on a slice. Otherwise, create the partition table, create
a slice, and proceed.
