You do need to create the /mnt directories in your own home directory so that you can read and write to those devices as a regular user. Also use sudo to un mount the device: [ajm@bsd]$ sudo umount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 NOTE: I did not change anything in the /etc/devfs.conf or am I using amd(8). -- Alexander FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE i386
