Yep, I understand that. The 'drive' has already been formatted to fat32.
That happened when I installed the iPod software to a Windows PC and
connected iPod to it.
Meanwhile, back at my FreeBSD machine, I booted up with a Knoppix 3.7 CD
and could mount the iPod successfully as /dev/sda2 and see some
directories on it (/Calendar, /Notes and whatnot). I'm now upgrading my
FreeBSD to today's 5-STABLE, and if that won't help I'll put in an
add-on PCI card with USB2 ports.
Upgrading the BIOS of my ASUS P3B-F motherboard to latest non-beta
version (1006) didn't seem to have any effect on this issue.

I've been reading all those sites for past couple of days. It just seems
that things that work for other people for some reason don't work for me :)
