Hello. I'm using FreeBSD 4.8 p14 and have a USB Web Cam that I would
like to use. I have the following in my /etc/rc.conf file

usbd_load="YES"

and the following in /boot/loader.conf

usb_load="YES"
ums_load="YES"
umass_load="YES"


Not sure if these are the correct settings or not. Here is the output
from dmesg

>dmesg | grep ungen
ugen0: Logitech Camera, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2

I want to be able to take some pictures with the cam to upload to my
webpage but don't know where to start with whats next. I try to mount it
using

mount -t msdos /dev/ungen /mnt

but get


msdos: /dev/ugen0: Block device required

Any help with setting my web cam up is greatly appreciated it. I don't
care about doing things the difficult way I just want to get the most
out of my webcam and have some pretty descent images. Thanks
