I don't know about FreeBSD but in linux i used "fdisk -l" (lowercase L) to
list the partitions on a device. This helped identify for a start what the
device was and also what partition I needed to mount. Also in linux for
some reason my USB memory stick appeared as a SCSI device alongside my
SATA hard disk and my firewire connected iPod. All a bit odd really :/
