[Solved] Cannot mount new /boot partition on new nvme drive

I thought I was close to booting to my new nvme drive on an existing Arch system. But, when I try to mount the /bootnew partition (I will rename it before I actually try to use it), I get this:

 # mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/nvme0n1p1
mkfs.fat 4.2 (2021-01-31)
# mount /dev/nvme01n1p1 /bootnew
mount: /bootnew: special device /dev/nvme01n1p1 does not exist. 

blkid shows the partition:

/dev/nvme0n1p1: UUID="5CA0-297F" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI system partition" PARTUUID="1e47198d-72c3-4bf7-b928-d863f243ea96"

I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Looks like just a typo...nvme01n1p1 != nvme0n1p1
