Cards <= 32 are formatted with FAT, those greater get ExFAT and
must be mounted using fuse.

Camera SD cards normally use msdosfs:
     mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt
However...
   SD cards >32GB are formatted exFAT
     Need to use fuse to mount:
       /boot/loader.conf or /boot/loader.conf.local:
         fuse_load="YES"
       /etc/rc.conf:
         fusefs_enable="YES"
       kldstat should show fuse.ko loaded
       man mount.exfat-fuse
       mount.exfat -o ro /dev/da0s1 /mnt
       unmount normally using umount
