how to mount USB drive on system startup

Dear all,

I am trying to make sure my USB hard drive will be available when system 
has finished booting. So:
$ grep usbd /etc/rc.conf
usbd_enable="YES"

and
$ grep backup /etc/fstab
/dev/ad3s1d	/backup	ufs	rw	2	2

But when I restart the system (FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p1), it complains 
that it cannot mount /backup.

mount: /backup: No such file or directory
Mounting /etc/fstab filesystem failed. Startup aborted.

I am sure there is something very simple that I need to do, so I'll 
appreciate your suggestions! Thanks!
