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
