try getting a hold of it from /dev/

James, I perhaps should be more clear.
The issue is I cannot find a way to address the device. To explain
further, the flash drive when mounted, shows up as /dev/disk1s1.
However, to properly address the device with fdisk, the device must
be umounted, but when attempting to address the device by
fdisk /dev/disk1 I receive a "file not found" error. So, my
assumption is that the disk subsystem handles unmounted devices
differently than I gather most OpenBSD systems perhaps. I of course
do not know for sure and any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
The man page did not provide any information on how to address the
problem.

I haven't, but I will look into it for you if you like. In theory,
there should be no problem using fdisk as the Terminal is pretty
accessible with Voice Over.
