Thanks for the tip; I didn't find this printed anywhere.  Is it?

My problem was that I was trying to mount the entire disk, not just "a".
Since part of the disk was Windows NT, it wasn't happy.

But, I have another problem... now, when I try to open my SCSI disks,
I get a message "`/dev/rsd0d': Device not configured".  I cann't see
a disklabel either (i.e., "disklabel -r sd0" gives me "disklabel: 
/dev/rsd0d: Device not configured".  I had been using the disks fine, but
powered them down and reboots the machine to get them out of a funny
state.  Now, they aren't configured... how do I configure a SCSI disk?
