In case you use GNOME, see
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html#q3. If this was a fresh
install of 7.3 (GNOME 2.28), just do steps 1 and 2, ignore the
instructions before and after, restart GNOME and then plug the drive
in. It should get mounted and appear on our desktop (well, it worked
for me !)
