Mount attempt:

$sudo mount_ffs /dev/sd0a /TB
Password:
mount_ffs: /dev/sd0a on /TB: Invalid argument

/TB exists, permissions are 777, owned root:wheel.

The NTFS partition was created first, since WIndows snivels about that
sort of thing.  What am I messing up?


From disklabel(5):

"By convention, the `a' partition of the boot disk is the root partition, and the `b' partition of the boot disk is the swap partition, but all other letters can be used in any order for any other partitions as desired."

Try using a letter after c in the alphabet when creating your disklabel.
