} Thanks. I think the second number is garbage.

     Yes, and no.  They would be correct for an i386 system.  Device
numbers are different for i386 and amd64.  Any time you do an update
or change archs, it is a good idea to rerun MAKEDEV.

     BTW, this was very obvious from the device not configured
error.  That error tells you that it was a "device" issue and had
nothing to do with the contents of the partition.  Even if it was
ffs, you wouldn't have been able to mount it.
