    This is a follow-up to my earlier question on how to create a freebsd
    partition on a usbdrive. I followed these instructions:

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/formatting-media/x163.ht
    ml

    And was able to create a 111 gig freebsd partition on the usb hard drive,
    with label da0s1d and /mnt/usbdrive as it's mount point. However, when I
    try to:

    ># mount /dev/da0s1d /mnt/usbdrive

    I get the error:

    ># mount: /dev/da0s1d: no such file or directory

    In /dev I see an entry for da0s1 and da0s1c but no entry for da0s1d.

    Any help in determining what I have missed?

    Steve
