You need to create an MSDOS partition, and mount that (say /dev/wd0f):

f: 4096512 63 MSDOS 0 0 0

You can edit the disklabel with

  export EDITOR=vi	# (or whatever)
  disklabel -W wd0
  disklabel -e wd0	# add f: to label
  disklabel -N wd0

When you mount it, use "-t msdos", as in

  mkdir /c
  mount -tmsdos /dev/wd0f /c

or

  mkdir /c
  echo "/dev/wd0f /c msdos rw" >> /etc/fstab
  mount /c
