In the time honored FreeBSD tradition, I am replying to my own email. 

I booted with a 8.0RC2 livefs CD and the external disk shows up
as /dev/da0, /das1, /das1d. I then connected the external drive via USB
and rebooted to the 8.0 Prerelease system. The drive shows up and is
able to mount.

It appears that some thing is amiss with the latest version. I will
download the latest livefs iso and see if that works.
