Okay, I thought I give mounting my usb so I inserted it one of the usb 
ports. There are 8 total on this machine; six are actually wired to a port. 
I'm not removing it as it reboots my system and I'm determined to get this 
thing to work!

I don't recall having any da* devices in my /dev so I've included all the 
listed devices in /dev

which are:

bobby#

and I know that normally to mount drives, I need to type:

bobby# mount -v -t msdos /dev/something-something-something /mnt/usb

I've tried using the usb0,1,2,3 devices with no success but since I don't 
see any da*, I'm not sure how to mount this thing. It's a msdos (fat) 
formatted drive and it's been used most everywhere. I've tried mounting 
almost every combination of the following:

bobby# mount -v -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: No such file or directory
bobby# mount -v -t msdos /dev/usb0s1 /mnt/usb
mount_msdosfs: /dev/usb0s1: No such file or directory
bobby# mount -v -t msdos /dev/usb0 /mnt/usb
mount_msdosfs: /dev/usb0: Block device required
bobby#

and just can't get it to go. This is really getting me down on the beta6 
stuff. Will I have this kind of trouble when I attempt to use a usb keyboard 
and mouse? can I use a wireless usb kb and mouse? should I even try or would 
spending the $ be a waste?

Whoa..... After about six minutes the following popped up on my screen...I 
checked the /var/log/messages file and found...

Sep 17 16:30:21 bobby kernel: Opened disk da0 -> 5
Sep 17 16:35:47 bobby kernel: Opened disk da0 -> 5

so,

bobby# mount -v -t msdos /dev/da0 /mnt/usb
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0: Device busy

argh.....
