How to mount drives as a regular user.

Running FBSD 7.0RC3, I followed the instructions on FAQ article "Disks, Filesystems, and Boot Loaders" but when I try to mount as a user I get this:

mount -t msdosfs /dev/ad0s4 /E
mount_msdosfs: /dev/ad0s4: : Operation not supported by device

Here's what my devfs.conf looks like:

own       /dev/acd0   root:operator
perm      /dev/acd0   0666
own       /dev/acd1   root:operator
perm      /dev/acd1   0666
own       /dev/ad0   root:operator
perm      /dev/ad0   0666
own       /dev/ad0s4  root:operator
perm      /dev/ad0s4  0666

This what I have on sysctl.conf:

vfs.usermount=1

What is it that I'm missing?
