I tried to mount da0 directly, but no success and expecting slices to be
present. I guess slices are analogous to labels?

Here is the behavior (refering to da0). 

<=====    Without the drive inserted, da0 isn't present:

root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev # ls | grep da
ada0
ada0p1
ada0p2
ada0p3
ada1
ada1p1
ada1p2
root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev # 

<==== Inserting the drive

root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev # ls | grep da

Inserting th 
ada0
ada0p1
ada0p2
ada0p3
ada1
ada1p1
ada1p2
da0
da0p1 <=== slice
da0p2 <=== slice
root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev #

<=== reboot the system with the drive inserted. The block device is
present (da0)

root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev # ls | grep da
ada0
ada0p1
ada0p2
ada0p3
ada1
ada1p1
ada1p2
da0
root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev #

But mounting fails and no slices present:

root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev # mount /dev/da0 /mnt/usb
mount: /dev/da0: Device not configured
root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev #

I tried sending an exit code of 0 (true isn't installed on this system)
to the block device as some other threads have suggested but it still
doesn't detect the device:

root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev # /bin/csh -i 'exit 0' > /dev/da0
root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev # ls | grep da
ada0
ada0p1
ada0p2
ada0p3
ada1
ada1p1
ada1p2
da0
root at NYCD-MX480-2-re0:/dev #

I have managed get usbconfig on there but usbconfig power_off / power_on
doesn't change anything.

Thanks,

Chris
