You mount partitions. Not devices.

The name of the partition is /dev/<device type> < number> <partition>

If the pen drive has a single MS-DOS (FAT) MBR partition, a virtual disklabel will assign this partition as "i". The output of

# disklabel sd1

will show its partitions.

If this shows a partition "i", you would mount this with:

# mount -t msdos /dev/sd1i /mnt
