Sony PRS-505 ebook reader with FreeBSD

[Oleksandr Rudyk]

 Thx for reply.

When I am triying to mount reader internal memory
mount /dev/da0 /mnt/usb I got error: Device not configured

Also I can not take off card because it is not inside ebook, only
empty card reader present.

May be linux partisions should be mounted in different manner?
