Hello,

If I plug in a USB thumb drive, which becomes, say, umass0. Normally 
something like /dev/da0 will also be created amd slices of that device 
may be mounted. But is there a API for finding out what is the 
corresponding block device for umass devices ? The device driver writes 
that to syslog, but reading logs for something like that is quite clumsy.
