I haven't tried this ---

Given that the reader is a usb device could it be added to the devd setup?

Something like -

attach 200 {
	device-name "da[0-9]+";
	match "vendor" "0x058f";
	match "product" "0x6362";
	action "/usr/bin/true > /dev/${device-name}";
};


Saved to /usr/local/etc/devd/SD.conf

vendor and product are from my internal reader that I never use as I 
never did get it to mount a card - I have an external reader that works 
fine. There should be a more generic way to recognise card readers.
