It appears Arch can't find /dev/sdd1 however I can find it fine when I
use the 'fdisk' utility. I don't understand why...

[root at tuna ~]# mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdd1
mkfs.vfat 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010)
/dev/sdd1: No such file or directory

When I look under the /dev/ directory, I don't see sda sdb sdc or sdd.
Am I missing something here?
