Since "dd if=/dev/rda0" failed without actually reading any blocks
(details of this noted in my last e-mail), I'm inclined to think that the
filesystem/partition on the disk shouldn't be the source of my trouble. 
To avoid putting my foot in my mouth on a mailing list, I double-checked
under windows.  It's "FAT", according to win2k. 

For what it's worth, win2k didn't require any special drivers, or
anything--it seems to be generic umass.  This is probably the only time
I've ever literally been able to "plug and play" under windows, too. :)
I'm thoroughly stumped as to why FreeBSD is having a hard time with it.
