mount(8) can't autodetect your fs, which means it's at least not among
{vfat, ext2, ext3}. I suggest reformatting the drive on a Linux machine,
by plugging it in and doing:

    # mke2fs /dev/sda1

That'll clearly erase any files that are already on it. I'm not sure if
we include the vfat formatter, and don't have my XO handy to check.

Yes, because 'sysfs' is a virtual filesystem that exports system
information from the kernel.
