I think so, too. FreeBSD relies on correctly working devices,
and it checks for this. The strange thing was that I could
read the partition table via "fdisk da0".

To be sure, I've tried the stick on the USB 1.0 controller
(message above) and on the USB 2.0 controller of the mainboard,
with similar result:

	umass0: <SanDisk Cruzer Micro, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 2> on uhub2
	da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
	da0: <SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8.02> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device 
	da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
	da0: Attempt to query device size failed: UNIT ATTENTION, Medium not present

On "Windows" PC, the stick has been accessible, but "Properties"
showed a minimum disk space occupation (circa 300 kB) allthough
there was nothing on the stick.

Linux: Not invented here. :-)
