Other HAST device in fstab?

I have just finished setting up my first HAST+CARP configuration but ran into a hen/egg issue: if I have the HAST device in fstab and reboot, the computer will not finish booting because it will complain that the HAST device does not exist.

If not in /etc/fstab, then where is the correct way/when is the correct time to mount the HAST device? The guide does not comment on this.

Doesn't hastd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf on both nodes, as mentioned in the handbook, do the job?

Note at the end of the article:

Code: 
...feel free to add

hastd_enable="YES"

to /etc/rc.conf on both nodes, so hastd will start automatically.

Thank you. That line was already on both nodes and hastd did start automatically. Strangely enough, the hast block device does not. This is the part that puzzles me. Hastd is running but the /dev/hast/ device does not exist at the time fstab is being processed.
 
I am putting this on hold until I find documentation that does not predate the discovery of electricity. With the guidebook, one can happily configure HAST and CARP for FreeBSD 9 but finding anything up-to-date seems futile.
