Mounting USB-stick

[Fridtjof Busse]

Hi
I've got a problem with mounting a USB-stick on FreeBSD 5.4-RC3 (and
according to google I'm not the only one, but noone seems to have had
the problem I have):
If I plug the stick in, I get lots of

It ends with

Apr 23 21:26:08 fbsd kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Retries Exhausted
Apr 23 21:26:08 fbsd kernel: Opened disk da0 -> 6

Now I have /dev/da0, but no /dev/da0s1.
No matter what I try with camcontrol, I don't get da0s1.
By accident I found out that after I mount /dev/da0 (which of course
doesn't give me any files on the stick) and umount it, I get /dev/da0s1.
What's going on/wrong and how can I fix it? I don't need amd, so I'd be
happy about a simple solution, if there's any.
Thanks! :)
