You're slightly off course.  Read man 8 amd and see if that helps.  Also,
section 27.3.5 of the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html
If you get stuck on specifics, ask here.

I've not see this happen.  Are you umounting it before you remove the
drive?  If not, then the drive is still mounted from a previous connection
(even though it can't be accessed) so the system has to grab the next
available device.

This will go away once you have amd running.
