How to mount USB drive in FreeBSD 5.0?

[Simon Rutishauser]

Hi,

i had some problems which look similar to yours with an usb cardreader
_and_ an external hd.

After an upgrade to the latest "testing" (or whatever this is called ;-))
a month or so ago the problems vanished (even though FreeBSD still needs
about one minute to recognize my Cardreader)
