>Description:
I noticed two typing errors in section 8.20 of the FreeBSD FAQ.
"8.20. How do I let ordinary users mount CD-ROMs, DVDs, USB drives, and other removable media?"
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#idp67591856

Typo #1 is in the first example code snippet (the grey rounded box):
  # Allow all users to mount a USB drive.
  own       /dev/da0       root:operator
  perm      /dev/da00       0666
The "perm" line should refer to "/dev/da0" instead of "/dev/da00", so there is an extra tailing 0 in the device name.

Typo #2 is in the brown command block following the above example:
  % mkdir ~/my-mount-point
  % mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0~/my-mount-point
Here, the "mount" line has one space less than it should. The space between "/dev/da0" and "~/my-mount-point" is missing.

>How-To-Repeat:
Not applicable.
>Fix:
Replace the line "perm      /dev/da00       0666" with "perm      /dev/da0       0666".
Replace the line " % mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0~/my-mount-point" with " % mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0~ /my-mount-point"
