The HALD needs to be started in the specific order as
# enable HALd
dbus_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
/etc/fstab needs to be edited
/dev/cd0 /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/cdrom cd9660 rw, noauto 0 0
/dev/acd0 /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/cdrom cd9660 rw, noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/floppy msdosfs rw, noauto 0 0
/dev/ugen0 /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/camera msdosfs rw, noauto 0 0
/etc/devfs.conf neets to be edited
# Allow all users to mount the floppy disk.
own /dev/fd0 root:operator
perm /dev/fd0 0666
# Allow members of the group operator to mount CD-ROMs.
perm /dev/acd0 0666
perm /dev/cd0 0666
# Commonly used by many ports
link cd0 cdrom
link cd0 dvd
link cd0 rdvd
link acd0 cdrom
link acd0 dvd
link acd0 rdvd
# Misc other devices
perm cdrom 0666
perm dvd 0666
perm rdvd 0666
perm cd0 0666
perm ata 0666
perm xpt0 0666
perm pass0 0666
perm /dev/uscanner0 0666
perm usb* 0666
perm ulpt* 0666
perm lpt0 0666
perm ugen* 0666
also you have to add in /etc/sysctl.conf
vfs.usermount=1
For USB stick also /etc/usbd.conf needs to be edited. I mount USB stick
manually so figure out yourself.
Either read documentation or copy important files from PC-BSD.
