Oh, man. I'm such a moron. Or klutz, at least.
"... or da0 doesn't exist" is indeed correct. The disks are ad* on  
this computer. I'm much too used to da* and didn't even think about  
the possibility that I might actually have the name wrong...

Normally, I would stay quiet about it, but seeing how this is/was  
essentially a bug report, I guess I'll have to tell the truth: there  
was no bug here in my case. *blushes*

Thomas
