Under FreeBDS 6.2, the following command works for a
256MBMemorex Mini TravelDrive, but not for a 256MB
Intelligent Stick (I-Stick):

mount_msdosfs /dev/da3s1 /mnt

It fails with "mount_msdosfs: /dev/da3s1: No such file
or directory". 

When I plug in the I-Stick, I get:

umass0: USB Flash Disk, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 2
da3 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da3: <I-Stick2 IntelligentStick 2.00> Removable Direct
Access SCSI-2 device
da3: 1.000MB/s transfers
da3: 249MB (511488 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 249C)

When I unplug the I-Stick I get:

umass0: at uhum0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
(da3:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device
(da3:umass-sim0:0:0:0): removing device entry

I verified that /dev/da3 exists, and I can mount the
Memorex USB drive using the same command every time.
Both drives are FAT filesystem.

Any idea what the problem might be?
