Why does hal think my USB devices are fixed?

[Warren Block]

Fixed as opposed to removable.  hal used to see these USB 
devices--USB memory sticks, memory cards in a reader--as removable 
devices.  Which they are.

Same computer, same config that used to automount these devices as 
removable, but now FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 and hal says they are fixed devices:

org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed no <-- (action, result).

Is this be due to the USB system?
