8.0RC1: Can't mount usb stick

[Goran Gajic]

No this one is formated in XP style, so there is no /dev/da0s1. But that 
is  not the only problem I have noticed. I wanted to take image of USB 
stick just in case I might need it, since I did newfs_msdos /dev/da0.. However
during cat /dev/da0 > usb.img read seems to hang.. Also, when I have tried
to put some image (in FreeBSD 8.0RC1) on that same stick, when I did
cat usb_old.img > /dev/da0 same happens - system hangs. When I have tried 
same thing under Linux it worked with no problems.
