Hi,

I have similar problems. Running Freebsd 7.3 on a alix system 
(http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d13.htm)
I have no problems connecting usb hdd.

With freebsd 8.2-PRERELEASE, I got this errors after reading some data 
from the usb disk:

ugen1.2: <A-DATA> at usbus1
umass0: <A-DATA Portable HDD NH92, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.40, addr 2> on

any ideas?
