Slightly different error now.  With fdisk I first try to create a single
slice using the entire disk (I am using /stand/sysinstall).  It claims to
have the following geometry:

 DISK Geometry:  963 cyls/8 heads/32 sectors = 246528 sectors

I write the changes, and it appears to be successful (Wrote FDISK
partition information out successfully.)  Next I use the disk label editor
(again through /stand/sysinstall) to create a new partition using all
246528 blocks, and I choose File System as its type.  As its mount point I
put /ls120 (an empty directory).  I then select W to write my changes and
now I get a new error:
  
  Error mounting /dev/wfd0s1e on /ls120 : No such file or directory

Immediately before that the following flashes by:

 newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/wfd0s1e

I did and ls /dev/wf* and the only two entries are wfd0 and wfd0s1.  What
am I doing wrong?  What should the exact steps be?
