Disregard that, it was pretty strange umass problem: i had forcibly unplugged my flash card (forgot to umount it), and after that no new usb devices have been detected. (could anyone reproduce it? I'm running pretty-recent 8-STABLE, update was about couple of weeks ago)

Now, dmesg tells me:
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <Sony Sony DSC 6.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device 
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 30MB (63424 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 30C)

(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI sense: NOT READY asc:3a,0 (Medium not present)

As i understand dmesg, there is a medium-not-present error - so, it complains on the lack of memstick inside my cam - but i've got it's internal 30MBs, can i somehow reach them?
