memorystick usage on freebsd...now what:-)

[Dino Vliet]

There we go...:-) I worked precisely as you said!!
Thanks for the FAST answer.

Made me have to post this to the ubuntu mailinglist:

No sweat...already solved this in FreeBSD. There I
could mount the partition very easily after it was
detected by the kernel and showed up in the dmesg.

Thanks for reading this though.

I'm NOT starting a flame ware, but I will always come
back to FreeBSD!!

Thanks
