Correct, this shows da0 is your USB disk. You just need to know
which partition to access.

	# ls /dev/da0*

will show you which entries are present. As I mentioned before,
/dev/da0s1 or /dev/da0s1c should be the correct one.

You can check which partitions are on da0 with this command
that just does some reading (no modification):

	# fdisk da0

Then you tried, as suggested:

> $mount -t msdosfs dev/da0s1c /mnt
> mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1c: Operation not permitted

Yes, of course. You're issuing this command from a user's shell,
not as root. But because of FreeBSD's security concepts, you need
to do the mount operation as root (that's why I prefixed the
mount command with a # sign), so use "su" or "sudo" (sudo needs
to be installed).

You can, of course, enable the user to have access to the USB
devices by modifying /etc/devfs.conf and setting vfs.usermount=1
in /etc/sysctl.conf.

> $mount -t msdosfs dev/da0 /mnt
> mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0: Operation not permitted

Same reason here. You need to be root to do this. And don't
complain, it's completely intended to be this way. :-)
