Are you saying you plug the card in > the SanDisk reader and *then* boot? It won't work "on-the-fly"? No, my reader has to be plugged in at boot, but inserting the card works on the fly. Your device may be different, but mine has always been /dev/da0s1 for the card itself. The /dev partition is pretty manageable in 5.3, so you might try an ls /dev and look for /dev/da0*. It might just jump out at you. I do an ls before inserting the card, and I see da0, but not da0s1. After inserting the card, da0s1 is there. Sometimes it's instantaneous, other times it takes a couple attempts to mount, but it works. Perhaps someone else on the list will know how to get the reader detected on the fly without a reboot, or perhaps the command to check the reader for an inserted card? I had thought camcontrol was it, but it doesn't seem to recognize that the card was removed.
