I'm having trouble adding a disk.  After booting, I try to mount the disk
using "mount /dev/wd1a."  This fails with a message about the device not
being configured.  But, if I execute "disklabel -e -r /dev/rwd1d" and exit
without changing anything, the mount works.

What am I missing?

To live only for some future goal is shallow.  It's the sides of the
mountain which sustain life, not the top.  Here's where things grow.
