knockthrough:Untitled chris$ sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/sdcardmountpoint/
mount_msdos: Unsupported sector size (36352)
That is intensely frustrating and if you google this error (as of today), there are only 3 search results offered - none of which answer the problem. Well anyway, I was trying to mount an SD which I am using for a Raspberry Pi so that I could modify hdmi settings within the config.txt file. Unfortunately I had to trash the image on the card and reformat the card using a block/sector size which my mac would accommodate. Easiest way to do this is as follows:
knockthrough:Untitled chris$ sudo /sbin/newfs_msdos -F 32 -S 1024 /dev/disk1s1
Password:
newfs_msdos: warning: /dev/disk1s1 is not a character device
512 bytes per physical sector
/dev/disk1s1: 7742668 sectors in 1935667 FAT32 clusters (4096 bytes/cluster)

This instructs the mac to setup an msdos filesystem on the device at /dev/disk1s1, using the FAT32 format and a sector size of 1024 bytes. To prove that this now mounts, here's the next command:
nockthrough:Untitled chris$ sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/sdcardmountpoint/
knockthrough:Untitled chris$ mount
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
/dev/disk1s1 on /Volumes/sdcardmountpoint (msdos, local, noowners)
[code]
and there it is...
