Dmesg gives: umass0: vendor 0x13fe USB DISK 2.0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: < USB DISK 2.0 PMAP> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 471MB (964608 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 471C) But now I'm lost.... I want to mount this baby, but don't really know how to proceed. The handbook shows me to go to section 17.3, but there they talk about nasty looking commands. Can somebody get me up and running quickly? Can I remove the usb stick safely before mounting it? I already used it @work on windows to put some files on it so why won't the mount_msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt command not work in this case?
