Well, yes, but what the handbook doesn't mention is that these
things are almost invariably formatted as msdos (FAT) filesystems.

So, what is usually needed is something that looks something like
mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /your-mount-point

where the "da0" part you can get from your system console/messages.
You can also set up /etc/usbd.conf to automatically issue
the mount command for you.
