I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 and am having problems with disks.
There are about 6 SCSI disks on 2 or 3 contoller channels.  The 
command :

  mount /dev/sd1s1a /mnt		

and various other combinations of sd1s2 sd1a sd1b sd1s1e etc fail with 
the message:

  /dev/sd1s1a on /mnt: Operation not permitted.

I'm using this as root, /mnt exists and had nothing in it.  I have never
had much luck with mount on FreeBSD.  Some of the disks (other than sd0)
were bootable disks with / /var  swap and /usr on them.  Some where
just /new/spool disks.  The disks should be good.  Why is the operation
not permitted?

Bob
