Someone on ##freebsd suggested that i try rebooting with the ipod
plugged in, so I tried that.  Right after detecting my hard drive and
my dvd burner, the system just hung for about a minute and a half
until i unplugged the ipod.  Then, it printed something about umass0
detatched (it went by really fast), and then it continued booting.

I tried rebooting again, this time with my thumb drive, and it booted
fine, but i still didn't have /dev/da* and dmesg still didn't have any
more information than before.  I tried it also with a full power-off
between each part, but the only difference was that this time, the
kernel panicked when i unplugged the ipod after a couple minutes of
hanging...

Anyway, maybe that will give someone an idea as to what could be causing th=
is?

Thanks,
~Erin
