Thanks Matthew for the fast reply. Here's the info you requested.

/dev/ad4s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad4s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad6 on /mp3 (ufs, local)

Yes - I have been reading up on the issues with files like MP3 and
iTunes. I do intend (shoudl I be able to mount the drive) to do just that.
