Recently I experienced something that surprised me. I have a workstation

I said I'd see, and I unplugged the second drive (ad5 on FreeBSD, drive1
on Windows) and plugged in the suspect drive, fully expecting to mount
it and copy files over. But, when FreeBSD booted, it failed to read ad5
and then dropped to single user mode.

Here's my fstab, if that illuminates anything:
...
/dev/ad5s1d /files ufs rw 2 2
If you neglected to comment-out this line, FreeBSD would be looking for
this partition, which doesn't exist on the Windows drive.
I suspected that was the case, but if so, why did mount -a work?
