if you do ls -l /dev/etherd/

you should see e0.0p1 e.0.0p2 etc. depending on your partitions


*just like a real drive* you mount the partitions *not* the drive

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/a

not

mount /dev/sda /mnt/a

the *just like a real drive* part is something you keep forgettting :)

# mount /dev/etherd/e0.0p1 /mnt/

is probably what you want
