One more thing. It's highly likey that your system will hang when you
disconnect the ipod... prep your system for the worst, a warm reboot.
Also don't connect the ipod untill you have X running. Connecting the
ipod and then running KDE will hang the system. Start KDE and then ALT
+ CTRL + F1 to get to the console and then connect it... jump back to
X (ALT + F9) to mount the drive "mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s2 /mnt/ipod"
and then everything should be good to go for amaroK to use it. I use
umount and "camcontrol eject da0" before I unplug it, but it still
seems to hang the system. Oh.. and it's not as "rapid" as I said
before. Connect the ipod then disconnect it... wait for error(s) then
reconnect it. rinse and repeat until you get device da0... It's all
about your timing.... Is their something wrong in the FreeBSD code?
Anyways.
