The stick has a msdos file system on it and has been loaded with files using windows xp. When I plug the stick into my FBSD box I get console msg about da0 device as usb flash memory stick. All looks good at this point. When is issue this command, mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt I get this error msg ' invalid argument' . Also tried this format of the command with same results. mount -t msdo /dev/da0 /mnt What am I doing wrong here?
