Greeting-

This is probably not ARM specific, but I just brought my original
BeagleBone up on the freebsd current image from ftp.freebsd.org.

While I was pleased to discover that USB was working much better than
it had on 10.x for disk devices (usb flash drive in this case).  I was
disappointed to discover that attempts to mount the drive at boot would
fail with the drive not being present when fsck started.  

I tried tagging it as a late file system in fstab and of course marked
it as second to  check after /, but no joy.  The message about da0
being discovered always came after the fsck failed and I was dropped to
single user mode.

As a work around I set /dev/ufs/bb64 to noauto and I am running fsck on
it and mounting it from rc.local.

Is there something obvious I have missed that will permit the fsck to
happen after the usb bus has been probed?
