Hi, Gleb!
I have not digged deeply into kiconv functionality - I do not know way it
loads data into kernel. I use /usr/lib/libkiconv.so which makes all work for
me. System utils mount_{cd9660,udf,msdosfs,ntfs} works just this way.
IMHO if kernel interface is going to be changed the libkiconv.so is the best
place for changes.
In other hand I can not find anything about firmwire(9) - no mans, no pages on
www.freebsd.org
Sincerely yours
Dmitry
