Changed filetype to vfat and that didn't work either like it > does in Linux. /dev/da1 is not what you want. That's the device, but it doesn't specify the slice. The umass driver treats the memory stick like a SCSI harddrive, so your mount command should also treat it like a harddrive. You should be using "da1s1" or similar instead. (In UNIX terminology, a "slice" is roughly equivalent to a DOS primary partition.) David
