17.3 is about partitioning and formatting - you don't need to do any of that, since you;ve already been able to use the device on another machine. > Can I remove the usb stick safely before mounting it?

It's mount_msdosfs, but otherwise that should work. I've seen devices where the only partition showed up as /dev/da0s4, so it might be worth checking which /dev/da0s* nodes were actually created, or run 'fdisk da0' to see the partition table data.
