Running dmesg from the CD-shell the system "sees" sd0 (the internel SSD) and sd1 (the USB with the key). Having attached another USB drive I see this is recognizes as sd2. But running 'fdisk sd2' or 'disklabel sd2' I get "No such file or directory" (and consequently as well when trying to mount this external drive).
