What do I need in FreeBSD 6.1 OS to be able to read a USB Dane/Electric 256 MB thumb drive?

Howdy.

I've been going round and round here trying to simply read a USB thumb
drive.  I've searched many web sites, read the various messages on
this list, the Handbook and other sources, but nothing is very clear
to me at the moment.  I think I have bits and pieces, but haven't been
able to put together the puzzle yet, soooooo ...

So here is a clip of my dmesg text ...  Note: I haven't included the
whole dmesg output ... if need be, please advise.

I see no references to umass and/or da0 which I have come across in my
readings. In the /dev file there are two devices, usb and usb0, so I
tried mounting each one of these devices separately, but had no luck.
Obviously I'm missing something here, so any reasonably detailed
pointers would be appreciated.

At the moment I'm not concerned with USB 2.0.  LOL!

Thanks in advance.
