I tried that with no success. dmesg reports the new device as da4, but
it then removes the entry so I don't have any /dev/da4[X]
If I use the first method, I get "Permission denied" using both root
and a regular user for da[0-3]. Using the second method, I get
"Operation not permitted". No da4 nodes appear under /dev.
