I've got a Sony DSC-S70; I just plug it into a USB port and it appears as
/dev/da2s1 (da2 because I have 2 SCSI drives). Requires devices scbus, da,
and either uhci or ohci in kernel config, and usb and umass either in config
or loaded as modules.

I have one problem with this setup, though; when I unplug the camera, the
USB subsystem seems to crash: the umass driver won't re-attach the camera
if I plug it back in, and usbdevs(8) hangs.  Anyone else seen this? have a
fix?
