Do you have usbd="YES" in your rc.conf file? USB stick should be detected as ugen0. Read the dmesg before and after you attach the USB-drive. Add perm /dev/ugen0 0666 into your devfs.conf i /dev/ugen0 /usr/home/Username/mnt/usbstick msdosfs rw, noauto 0 0 into you fstab file I see no reason that the stick is not mounted automatically. You already have HAL on. Koen de Wijs wrote: > Mel schreef: >> On Friday 31 August 2007 09:41:23 Koen de Wijs wrote: >> >> >>> This week I installed FreeBSD on a computer of mine.
