            Bug ID: 255572
           Summary: Unable to mount hard drive (hdd: not found)
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: hunter0one@protonmail.ch

I recently moved to FreeBSD from Devuan Linux and hit a snag. My computer h=
as
an SSD which I install the operating system to and I also have a 1 TB hard
drive which I typically mounted to /hdd on Linux for storing videos and oth=
er
things. I tried to do the same on FreeBSD, formatting both my SSD and HDD w=
ith
ZFS and mounting the hard drive to /hdd, but when I booted for the first ti=
me
afterwards the init stopped as it said "hdd: no such file or directory" (or
something similar, I'm posting this a day afterwards).

It prompted for me to use the shell so I did and checked /etc/fstab. This is
what it looked like (the values didnt align with the # comments due to the
letter length of the devices so apologies if its hard to read):

# Device        Mountpoint      FStype  Options Dump    Pass#
root    /               zfs     rw      0       0
/dev/ada0p3     none            swap    sw      0       0
hdd    /hdd            zfs      rw      0       0       0

I tried to change the device name (hdd) to /dev/ada1p1, but then it said th=
at
/dev/ada1p1 could not be found. Checking in /dev/, the file ada1p1 does in =
fact
exist. I eventually removed the entry altogether so that I could boot into =
my
new system, but I can't mount my hard drive at all. I tried to mount it via=
 the
terminal and it gives the same error (it couldnt be found).

It seems like its not a ZFS-specific issue, it appears this person has the =
same
problem with UFS:
