Thanks, Tom. However...

That one liner doesn't do it. If the drive is not mounted it draws an 
error.

> sudo mount -uw "/Volumes/Bonehead"

Runt:~ dave$ sudo mount -uw "/Volumes/Bonehead"
Password:
mount: unknown special file or file system /Volumes/Bonehead.

The other USB drive (with 3 partitions) mounts just fine, and it is 
reported the same way when running plain "mount" (when the problem 
drive is also mounted)...

/dev/disk1s10 on /Volumes/Bonehead (local, nodev, nosuid, journaled)
/dev/disk0s10 on /Volumes/Meathead (local, nodev, nosuid, journaled)
/dev/disk0s12 on /Volumes/Meathead X (local, nodev, nosuid, journaled)
/dev/disk0s14 on /Volumes/Meathead X2 (local, nodev, nosuid, journaled)

The problem is that Bonehead does not mount at all when rebooting from 
OS X back into OS X. If I come from OS 9 (where the drive mounts ok) 
into OS X, then it will mount.

Anything else? Maybe a way to tell disk1s10 to mount?

If it helps, here's an abbreviated list (the two USB drives) of what's 
in /dev/. It's the same whether the problem drive is mounted or not...
