I just try to guess what you're trying to do: Acces an USB hard
disk? Look out for /dev/da* device files that occur when connecting
the disk, or:

	# dmesg | grep ^da

The da* files - direct access - are the special files to access
USB drives.

Then you can mount them as you like (FAT32 -> msdosfs):

	# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1c /mnt

or something similar. mount_msdosfs allows some options to get
the file attributes correct, read "man mount_msdosfs" to learn
more about it.


Hope that was the question. :-)
