Yes, indeed. I was thinking about doing a similar workaround, but surely there 
must be a better way of doing this. We need a way for mount to automatically 
probe the device for filesystems first before attempting to mount the slice.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Just out of interest, during bootup, what command is executed to probe the 
devices? If I put a memory card in my reader before booting the system up, 
the filesystem slices on the card are detected, the device node[s] are 
created and I can mount it straight away. 

This is the command I want, rather than having to run a mount command that we 
know will fail just to create the nodes.
