Ah, I see, sorry.

There is no device /dev/wd4a, /dev/wd4b,... in a default installation. The
highest is /dev/wd3... So you cannot mount your wd4e because of a missing
device.

You have to use the command mknod for this. But I think it is better to
use the skript MAKEDEV which is located in /dev. This script will create
all necessary devices, you probably have to change the line for wd*.
