This should probably be in the FAQ, but doesn't seem to be common knowledge. If you can't automount an OD, and you can't fix it, you can still manually mount it. Log in as root. Type "/usr/etc/mount /dev/od0a /FoO". It will ask you to insert the disk. Insert it. It is mounted. This method WILL mount a corrupted OD so you can read its contents. Since it is corrupted, it is not recommended to write to it. You should copy the important files to something else, then reformat it. al.
