I think so, too. FreeBSD relies on correctly working devices, and it checks for this. The strange thing was that I could read the partition table via "fdisk da0". To be sure, I've tried the stick on the USB 1.0 controller (message above) and on the USB 2.0 controller of the mainboard, with similar result: umass0: on uhub2 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: Attempt to query device size failed: UNIT ATTENTION, Medium not present > if you can - check it on another computer running other OS (linux, > windoze) On "Windows" PC, the stick has been accessible, but "Properties" showed a minimum disk space occupation (circa 300 kB) allthough there was nothing on the stick.
