It really, really sucks that FreeBSD doesn't have an architecturally (read "byte/word order") neutral local media FS that is not read-only, like NetBSD does. I hate having to go to ISO 9660 or MSDOS format -- both of which lose UNIX semantics -- for common media. > does FreeBSD already support USB 2.0? Dunno.
