Having got sick and tired of yum issues with the default Amazon Linux AMI (seriously - how hard can it be to get Firefox installed?), I'm trying to set up an Ubuntu version. But I can't create the initial EBS snapshot.
Here's the output:

Formatting /dev/sdh

Could not stat /dev/sdh --- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
Mounting to /mnt/bamboo-ebs
mount: special device /dev/sdh does not exist
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/sdh
       I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/filesystems
Trying ext3
mount: special device /dev/sdh does not exist
