Somehow you managed to delete the special file.

(slice numbering starts with one, not zero, as opposed to disk numbering and Unix convention.) So, if you have only one FreeBSD slice on a disk, /dev/wd0f and /dev/wd0s3f are device files for the same slice and I recommend to forget about slices for BSD filesystems at all in this case. Just change the "wd0s3?"-entries to "wd0?"-entries in your /etc/fstab and it should work fine. Wolfgang
