>Description:

Sticking a freshly cleaned (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd0d bs=512 count=1)
usb stick into the machine, labeling it (disklabel -re sd0) and trying to 
create an ufs filesystem on it (newfs /dev/sd0a) fails with:

newfs: /dev/sd0a: open for write: Device busy

Nothing obvious uses the usb stick. Rebooting changes nothing. Tested on Dell 
Latitude E6400 and a Dell Desktop GX280.

Accessing an usb stick which already contains an ffs filesystem works ok.
>How-To-Repeat:

- put an usb stick into your 5.0_RC2 machine
- dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd?d bs=512 count=1
- disklabel -re sd?
- newfs /dev/sd??
