By default, only a subset of devices are already made.
Presuming you are using a versin of FreeBSD before 5.0 (I haven't
had a chance to install a 5.x or use the new devfs stuff yet) do
the following:

   cd /dev
   ./MAKEDEV da0s2a

That should get you all the da0s2_ set.   

Then fix up your /etc/fstab file and it should all work nicely.
