It does not matter what filesystem is on the device, the device can be filled with complete random data, /dev/da0 should still be there.
/dev/da0s* is/are only created if there is a partition table/MBR on the device, if there isn't a partition table (Common on USB sticks because of Windows limitations) then you can just mount /dev/da0.
Again, when you plug in the device, what does dmesg say?
