 How can I mount this device? 
 
 Also, when I unplug it I get a panic. I do have, what I think are, the
 correct defines in my kernel config.
 
 What might I be doing wrong?

As root, mkdir /flash
mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /flash

Or add the following line to /etc/fstab

/dev/da0s1 /flash  msdos   rw,noauto   0   0

and then simply issue mount /flash

You should read the beginning of this article:

 Also, when I unplug it I get a panic. I do have, what I think are, the

Well the panic is not normal, maybe you could give us more details.
