mounting USB

Hi I was trying to mount my USB flashdrive on solaris 10 and I am getting the message saying that (I have already gone through the previous blogs in the forum)
mount: Block device required.

I have tried most of the possible ways.

#rmformat(gives me the necessary information about my flash drive)
#mkdir usbdrive
#mount -F pcfs /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0 /usbdrive
0r
#mount /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0 /usbdrive
or
#mount /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0:c /usbdrive
I have tried some other options as well it says the same message
mount: Block device required.
c3t0d0p0 this logical node is read as character device.
So do I have to change it as block device.
please share your thoughts if any one is aware of this.
